New submission from Bill Janssen: It would be useful to have a way to determine whether a socket is or is not already bound to a local port (i.e., has had "bind" or "connect" called on it). It's tempting to call socket.socket.getsockname(), but the behavior of this method is essentially undefined (i.e., it's whatever the underlying platform feels like doing, and there seem to be no constraints on that -- Unix systems typically return what seems to be someone's idea of a null address, while Windows systems currently raise an exception.). So an extension API is needed to probe this state.
Suggest adding a method "is_bound" which returns a boolean. ---------- messages: 55494 nosy: janssen severity: normal status: open __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1062> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
