Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
I agree that this is a bad default (and whoever wrote it, probably me, didn't
know what this does for UDP). I think the right solution is to change the
default, not to introduce a new method.
Maybe we can deprecate the default somehow? There currently is a line the
computes the default based on platform:
if reuse_address is None:
reuse_address = os.name == 'posix' and sys.platform != 'cygwin'
We could change this to issue a deprecation warning stating that in the future
the default will change to False everywhere. Then in the next release we could
change the default to False and remove the warning.
