Is there any good reason why sendto() and recvfrom() aren't wrapped by asyncore? Obviously, recvfrom() cannot be replaced by recv(), but even sendto() cannot be replace by connect() and send(), either:
I'm writing a traceroute module, and I found out that under the current firewall configuration of my OS, sending an ICMP packet via sendto() doesn't trigger a connection confirmation (the packet is silently and successfully sent), while connect() does (the firewall reports an attempted UDP connection, I'm sure why). I know Python merely wraps send() and sendto() from <sys/socket.h> of the OS, obviously there are some important subtle differences between the two. Now, if I'd want to add sendto() and recvfrom() to asyncore, would it be sufficient to simply copying its send() and recv() wrapper functions and change the names and arguments, or are there more modifications required? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
