In Python, the lowest layer facing the operating system always directly exposes the API as-is, without reinterpreting the user's request. Not following this principle leads exactly to this kind of problem. So I think .accept() should only call accept(2), and accept4() should only be called if explicitly requested by the application. Exposing it as .accept4(flags) is certainly the most straight-forward way of doing it, but I could also live with .accept(flags) (i.e. call accept4 if flags are being passed, hoping that no other system comes up with another accept extension that has a different integer argument). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10115> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
