New submission from Mikel Ward: The docs for 2.6 and 2.7 say socket.getaddrinfo takes keyword arguments.
http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.6/library/socket.html?highlight=socket#socket.getaddrinfo > socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family=0, socktype=0, proto=0, flags=0) But that doesn't actually work in Python 2.7. $ ./python Python 2.7.3+ (2.7:ec4ea40be2f6, Dec 11 2012, 14:43:35) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import socket >>> s = socket.getaddrinfo('localhost', 999, family=socket.AF_INET) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: getaddrinfo() takes no keyword arguments Looks like it was introduced in 61999:c963478b9092. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 177356 nosy: Mikel.Ward, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: docs wrongly imply socket.getaddrinfo takes keyword arguments in 2.x versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16666> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
