R. David Murray added the comment: Yeah, a new function was a thought that had crossed my mind as well. getfqdnbyname, maybe? Or gethostnamefqdn? Then deprecate calling getfqdn without an argument.
I agree that gethostbyaddr accepting a non-IP is weird. I have no idea why it was implemented that way, much less why it is *used* that way. It's been that way for a long time, though. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
