New submission from Neale Ferguson: IUCV is a hypervisor mediated communications method for z/VM guest virtual machines. Linux on z Systems (aka s390x) has supported this via the use of AF_IUCV sockets for many years (added to kernel Feb 2007). This suggested patch adds support to Python 2.7.9 for this socket type. I have built Python on both s390x and x86_64: both build cleanly and the test added to test_socket.py runs cleanly on s390x and is skipped on other platforms.
