Looks good to me. Just to verify it, I added 127.1.2.3 as an address to
lo (ip addr add 127.1.2.3/8 dev lo broadcast 127.255.255.255), and...
>>> import socket
>>> sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
>>> sock.bind(("127.1.2.3",0))
>>> sock.connect(("127.0.0.1",80))
In another shell:
tolot:~> lsof -c python -a -i -nP
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
[...]
python 1287 tolot 3u IPv4 3553610 TCP 127.1.2.3:38329->127.0.0.1:80
(ESTABLISHED)
Looks correct. This is using Linux 2.6.23. So, if you're doing something
wrong, it's nothing obvious to me.
