Eli Bendersky added the comment: Great catch, Charles-François, thanks. It's actually an interesting example in favor of the approach - it's very nice to see descriptive family names in the data returned by getaddrinfo, instead of obtuse numeric values.
The attached patch fixes it in a similar vein to what was done for the family accessor: getaddrinfo is overridden in Python and does the necessary conversion. User code is unaffected. It has to rebuild the list (since those are tuples) but I don't think it matters in terms of performance for this specific function. As a bonus, getaddrinfo got a much nicer docstring :) ---- Note again that if this is acceptable, I'm going to similarly convert SOCK_* and post a full patch (with some documentation too). ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31313/socket-intenum-af.4.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
