Ned Deily added the comment: The test works for me on OS X 10.6 and OS X 10.9. My guess is that the problem you are seeing is due to a failing lookup of "localhost". What does your Python report for:
socket.gethostbyname("localhost") The getaddrinfo(3) man page description does not really cover the case here since Python's socketmodule.c contains a workaround to prevent an OS X segfault (Issue17269) so the test that is failing is actually equivalent to: socket.getaddrinfo("localhost", "00", 0, 0, 0, socket.AI_NUMERICSERV) The equivalent C code executes without error on my systems regardless whether it is meaningful. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20605> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
