In what context? Do you have some code that gets passed a socket object but it could have been created with either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM? And you want a way of determining by looking just at the object passed in which type it is? (I could make other guesses, but let's start with that... ;-) ) How about this: >>> import socket >>> t = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) >>> u = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) >>> dir(t) ['__class__', .... '_sock', 'accept', 'bind', 'close' , 'connect', 'connect_ex', 'dup', 'fileno', 'getpeername', ...'setblocking', 'setsockopt', 'settimeout', 'shutdown'] Let's see... what looks good here? >>> u._sock <socket object, fd=1916, family=2, type=2, protocol=0> >>> t._sock <socket object, fd=1912, family=2, type=1, protocol=0> Maybe that type field? -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
