Christian Heimes added the comment: Good idea! Initially I planned to add the functions and some other helpers around AF_UNIX to Python 3.6. You can directly copy the example functions from the documentation.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.socket.sendmsg https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.socket.recvmsg Please keep the names send_fds() and recv_fds(), and pass the message like in the examples. Some protocols use the payload to signal the count of fds. Your patch is also lacking unit tests and documentation update. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28724> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
