Hi there, since the socket.socket.family attribute has been introduced only in Python 2.5 and I need to have my application to be backward compatible with Python 2.3 and 2.4 I'd like to know how could I determine the family of a socket.socket instance which may be AF_INET or AF_INET6. Is there some kind of getsockopt() directive I could use? For now I've been able to determine the family by using:
# self.socket = a connected socket.socket instance ip, port = self.socket.getsockname()[0:2] af = socket.getaddrinfo(ip, port)[0][0] ...but I'd like to know if some other solution is preferable. Thanks. --- Giampaolo http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
