New submission from Andy Zeldis: On BSD (including Mac OS X) SO_REUSEPORT should be specified along with SO_REUSEADDR to match behavior on Linux (and possible Windows). This is needed to have multiple listeners to a UDP broadcast.
I discovered this when using PyOSC. Attached is an example modified to subclass SocketServer with a workaround. It should be possible to start multiple instances of this program, all of which will receive messages to a broadcast address (eg 255.255.255.255:7110). This test uses Python 2.7 on OS X (despite the "python3" shebang line from the example) ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: osc-broadcast-rcv.py messages: 176777 nosy: Andy.Zeldis priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: SocketServer should set SO_REUSEPORT along with SO_REUSEADDR when present type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file28183/osc-broadcast-rcv.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16594> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
