Senthil Kumaran added the comment: The localhost breaking on your linux system might be due to improper /etc/hosts or is localhost pointing to an ipv6 address? That said, I think it is okay to rely on 127.0.0.1 as host for running pydoc server. I am unsure why the initial check was done only for mac (and windows and linux are left to use localhost). -- nosy: +orsenthil ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22421 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Senthil Kumaran added the comment: sys.platform is darwin since OS X 10.5. I am not sure when it's value was 'mac', So effectively the host was localhost on mac systems. Directly setting the host value to localhost on all platforms may be right thing to do. Here is a patch with tests. -- assignee: - orsenthil Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36631/issue22421.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22421 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Senthil Kumaran added the comment: 2.7 was not affected and it was binding to localhost properly. Since it is security related issue, I have fixed it in 3.3 as well.

New submission from Devin Cook: Several years ago a patch was applied to set the default binding of the pydoc server to localhost instead of 0.0.0.0. It appears that the issue was reintroduced in a5a3ae9be1fb.
