(Posting to web-sig): I can see value in this (some-what). There are certain situations (UNIX Sockets) where SERVER_PORT is irrelevant and doesn't make sense. In my experience setting this to 0 or None is probably okay (when it used to be an int). Can't comment on byte ordering, or format, etc... Perhaps SERVER_PORT should be left as it was in the original PEP 333 specs as an int (or None?) cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
