Larry Hastings added the comment: Since this is a new library in 3.4, I can be more flexible. And since you're talking about adding a new feature (rather than changing or removing an existing feature), this has a vanishingly small chance of screwing anything up. Therefore I'm okay with adding this feature.
I suppose Python 3.4 only supports platforms that auto-close sockets at the end of a process, but I dimly recall Windows 95/98/ME didn't do that. And there are crazy people porting to platforms like Amiga. And I can hardly disapprove of something as wholesome as making sure people call .close(). So if Guido says okay, go ahead and check it in. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19860> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
