Yeah, but I'm not confident that the bug is exclusive to Linux. From what I've seen, it's a fairly common trend for security vulnerabilities on Linux to also be applicable to Windows in some way, especially for similar low-level OS APIs. So unless we're confident that the issue is exclusive to Linux, I think it would be safer/better in the long term to apply the change platform independently. In the short term, it will likely be a minor inconvenience and maintenance cost to users explicitly passing `reuse_address=True`. But, I think it's worthwhile in this particular case, especially since the majority of users don't seem to be doing that (based on my earlier search results). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37228> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
