New submission from ariel-wikimedia: With python 2.7.5 (running on fedora 20 with all updates), socket.getaddrinfo for a hostname such as 836937931829 will fail. Docker produces these sorts of hostnames (really random hex strings, but some hex strings only contain digits 0-9).
How to reproduce: Add the lines 172.17.10.53 blobber 172.17.10.54 836937931829 to /etc/hosts run the following: import socket print socket.getaddrinfo('172.17.10.53',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP) print socket.getaddrinfo('blobber',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP) print socket.getaddrinfo('172.17.10.54',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP) print socket.getaddrinfo('836937931829',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP) Expected output: [(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))] [(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))] [(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.54', 80))] [(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.54', 80))] Actual output: [(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))] [(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))] [(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.54', 80))] Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test-getaddrinfo.py", line 6, in <module> print socket.getaddrinfo('836937931829',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP) socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 209539 nosy: ariel-wikimedia priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: socket.getaddrinfo fails for hostname that is all digits 0-9 type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20418> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
