David Watson <bai...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Updated the patches for Python 3.2 - these are now simpler as they do not support bytearray arguments, as these are no longer used for filenames (the existing code does not support bytearrays either).
I've put the docs and tests in one patch, and made separate patches for the code, one for if the linux-pass-unterminated patch from issue #8372 is applied, and one for if it isn't. One point I neglected to comment on before is the ability to specify an address in the Linux abstract namespace as a filesystem-encoded string prefixed with a null character. This may seem strange, but as well as simplifying the code, it does support an actual use case, as on Linux systems the abstract namespace is sometimes used to hold names based on real filesystem paths such as "\x00/var/run/hald/dbus-XAbemUfDyQ", or imaginary ones, such as "\x00/com/ubuntu/upstart". In fact, running "netstat" on my own system did not reveal any non-textual abstract names in use (although they are of course allowed). ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18850/af_unix-pep383-docs-tests-3.2.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8373> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
