Or you can use Twisted: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/python/sendmsg.c> That module ought to have no dependencies outside of Twisted. We only use it for passing file descriptors between processes, but I believe it should be able to deal with whatever other types of auxiliary data that you need from recvmsg; if not, please file a bug (at <http://twistedmatrix.com/>). -glyph _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
