[Jakub Stasiak]

Jakub Stasiak  added the comment:

if_nameindex(), if_indextoname() and if_nametoindex() have been implemented as 
part of https://bugs.python.org/issue37007

While working on ifaddr I discovered that all three different kinds of names 
ifaddr fetches for an interface on Windows are not what Python socket functions 
use so I thought it'd be useful to document it for the next person who bumps 
into this.
