Hi python devs :
As a part of exploring an idea, I am trying to add a new method to the
python socket object. Here's what I have been trying to do (the patch may
be whitespace damaged so please bear with me) :

When I compile this and run a simple script like the following that uses
arecvfrom() :
sock = socket.socket( socket.PF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW )
sock.bind( ( intf, ETH_P_ALL ) )
(pkt,dontcare) = dst.arecvfrom( 500, socket.MSG_DONTWAIT )
I get this exception :
AttributeError: '_socketobject' object has no attribute 'arecvfrom'
So what am I doing wrong? How do I export this new socket method?
any help/pointer will be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
ani
