I was looking into a mechanism to get the aux fields from recvmsg() in

python 2.7?

Most certainly: Python 2.7 (and thus Python 2) is feature-frozen; no

As are 3.2 and now 3.3. Every version is feature frozen when released. Bugfix releases only contain bugfixes.

new features can be added to it. People wanting new features need to
port to Python 3.

In particular 3.3.
