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. __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2741 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Löwis [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. I think this will confuse users which don't know what an address family is - they are left guessing what possibly could be in this field. __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2741 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Martin v. Löwis [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: the way i read the text, i gathered that it might not work with sockets belonging to a subset of address families. I still cannot see anything wrong with that text, but then, English is not my native language. Can you suggest a different formulation? __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2741 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Martin v. Löwis [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I fail to see the issue. There are many other address families supported as well, such as AF_BLUETOOTH, AF_PACKET, AF_TIPC, and AF_NETLINK, depending on the system. The documentation just lists some examples. -- nosy: +loewis __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2741 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
