Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: Is this patch in response to an actual problem, or a theoretical problem? If "actual problem": what was the specific application, and what was the specific host name?
If theoretical, I recommend to close it as "won't fix". I find it perfectly reasonable if Python's socket module gives an error if the hostname can't be clearly decoded. Applications that run into it as a result of gethostbyaddr should treat that as "no reverse name available". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9377> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
