Paulo Scardine <pa...@scardine.com.br> added the comment: My first idea was to make the argument a tuple to match socket.create_connection(), but SMTP uses host and port arguments, for consistency it's better havin separate source_ip and source_port arguments. As a side effect, it makes easier to specify only source_port.
The submited patch includes tests and updated docstrings; At the smtplib.rst, for example: SMTP(host='', port=0, local_hostname=None[, timeout]) Would be ok to change it like: SMTP(host='', port=0, local_hostname=None[, timeout], source_ip='', source_port=0) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
