James Shewey added the comment: According to the man page for gethostbyaddr "The gethostbyname*() and gethostbyaddr*() functions are obsolete. Applications should use getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3) instead." - so perhaps using the correct API call might be a good start to resolving this issue, but I found that in my case, I needed to chase the problem upstream instead of downstream. On my Red Hat box, the kernel.hostname value with sysctl was incorrect. I had to re-set it with a sysctl kernel.hostname=hostname.example.com. This overrides /etc/hosts, so I suspect this is probably not an issue on other distros that do not use sysctl.
The moral of the story being garbage in, garbage out. ---------- nosy: +James Shewey _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
