Hello everyone, I want to use socket.create_connection(...) to set a source address in a ping implementation in python.
But how can I then set the type and the protocol? Because, before, I did: icmp = socket.getprotobyname("icmp") my_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, icmp) But now, I do: src_addr = socket.gethostbyname(src_addr) dest_addr = socket.gethostbyname(dest_addr) my_socket = socket.create_connection(dest_addr, socket.getdefaulttimeout(), src_addr) Is there something like my_socket.setproto()? I haven't found such a function in the documentation. Thank you, Guillaume -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
