Strange indeed. socket.has_ipv6 checks whether ENABLE_IPV6 was defined at compile time. But why is that an attribute of a socket object? It can be checked in sysconfig. Unfortunately, the socktype test still fails on FreeBSD/Qemu: ====================================================================== FAIL: testGetaddrinfo (__main__.GeneralModuleTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 591, in testGetaddrinfo self.assertEqual(socktype, socket.SOCK_STREAM) AssertionError: 2 != 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 101 tests in 11.504s FAILED (failures=1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 1463, in <module> test_main() File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 1459, in test_main test_support.run_unittest(*tests) File "/usr/home/stefan/svn/trunk/Lib/test/test_support.py", line 1055, in run_unittest _run_suite(suite) File "/usr/home/stefan/svn/trunk/Lib/test/test_support.py", line 1038, in _run_suite raise TestFailed(err) test.test_support.TestFailed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 591, in testGetaddrinfo self.assertEqual(socktype, socket.SOCK_STREAM) AssertionError: 2 != 1 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8857> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
