Charles-François Natali added the comment: Parsing a bytes object i.e. b'127.0.0.1' is done by inet_pton(), so it's probably cheap (compared to a syscall).
If we had getaddrinfo() and gethostbyname() return bytes instead of strings, it would be a huge gain. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22127> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
