Cathy Avery added the comment: The vsock code is now in the linux upstream kernel and qemu. I will be resubmitting my vsock patches for python. So from what I can tell the tip of the devel tree is for 3.7 and that the source control has switched to git. My question is do I need a github

Cathy Avery added the comment: First make sure the driver is in your kernel. It will be with RHEL. Look in /lib/modeles/"your kernel name"/kernel/net/vmw_vsock/vmw_vsock_vmci_transport. I have never tried it on vmware fusion. I have tested it on ESX. See if there is a VMCI option

[issue27584] New addition of vSockets to the python socket module

New submission from Cathy Avery: I have added AF_VSOCK support to python's 3.6 socket module ( socketmodule.c socketmodule.h cloned from https://hg.python.org/cpython ). The implementation is very similar to AF_NETLINK. AF_VSOCK requires the VMware-specific VMCI transport which is currently
