[issue2741] documentation -- do serversockets work with ipv6

2008-05-05 Thread Mike MacFaden 

Mike MacFaden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

so i suggest just removing this sentence --

  AF_INET and socket.AF_UNIX are two possible values.

this would imply that all socket address families are supported.
but if that is not true just list the exceptions.

the way i read the text, i gathered that it might not work
with sockets belonging to a subset of address families.

thanks,
mike

hi martin,

what i've tested so far...

  freebsd 6.2 - release 12 jan 2007
socket.gaierror: (8, 'hostname nor servname provided, or not known')

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.1 (Tikanga), gnu/linux
2.6.18-53.el5
 socket.gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known')

[issue2742] example code does not work

2008-05-02 Thread Mike MacFaden 

New submission from Mike MacFaden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

the url 
  http://docs.python.org/lib/socket-example.html
gives an example that uses socket.getaddrinfo that has this code

   HOST=''
   ...
   for res in socket.getaddrinfo(HOST, PORT, socket.AF_UNSPEC,
 socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0, socket.AI_PASSIVE)

but this fails on freebsd 6.1/python 2.5 as follows

> /usr/home/mrm/s2.py(30)()
-> for res in socket.getaddrinfo(HOST, PORT, socket.AF_UNSPEC, 
socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0, socket.AI_PASSIVE):
(Pdb) p HOST
''
(Pdb) n
gaierror: (8, 'hostname nor servname provided, or not known')
> /usr/home/mrm/s2.py(30)()

but setting 
  HOST=None
works fine.

either this is a doc bug or a code bug, your pick.

[issue2741] documentation -- do serversockets work with ipv6

2008-05-02 Thread Mike MacFaden 

New submission from Mike MacFaden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

the url
   http://docs.python.org/lib/node633.html
states 
   1)   address_family
   The family of protocols to which the server's socket belongs. 
 socket.AF_INET and socket.AF_UNIX are two possible values.

would suggest including socket.AF_INET6 as well if it is supported
or what criteria makes a socket not usable with this class.
