I said I am not, you can fit it as "I am lying". As for failed or not failed, I don't know what anybody want to get out of it. I just curious why there is no such function in the socket model, when I saw a "OS dependent" implementation of getting MAC. Nothing more. And your answer that there is not sufficient need for putting it in the standard libary(for the maintainance work needed), answered my puzzle.

I don't see why it is not a dialogue. You think that it is not because it doesn't meet your expectation answer(thus your "you are supposed" response), that I can do nothing as that is your right or thought. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
