David Watson <bai...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Hi, I'm afraid there may have been some duplication of effort here - I set about reworking Heiko Wundram's original patch (issue #1194378) without knowing about this one. I don't have unit tests yet either, but I saw this and thought I'd better post what I had. It includes the items on Kalman's to-do list.
This patch is based on Heiko's original code, but changes the interface, dropping the special processing of SCM_RIGHTS, etc. (I think the encoding/decoding would be better handled with separate functions/classes), and adds source address (msg_name) support and scatter/gather I/O via sendmsg() and a new recvmsg_into() method, as well as fixing various bugs and limitations. Comments/flames welcome too. You'll see a few XXX comments in the code. One in particular refers to the msg_name value from recvmsg() on a connected socket; I've said in the docstring that it is "unspecified" in this case, but it might or might not contain a valid address, depending on the OS. These methods may also need to be conditionally compiled if, say, CMSG_SPACE (or sendmsg/recvmsg?) isn't available somewhere. I didn't add a facility to receive into only part of a buffer in recvmsg_into(), like the one in recv_into(), since memoryview objects make it redundant AFAICT. ---------- nosy: +baikie Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15561/baikie-hwundram.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6560> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
