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
[Python-Dev] About issue 6560
Hi : I was looking into a mechanism to get the aux fields from recvmsg() in python and I came across this issue. Looks like this feature was added in python 3.3. Is there any reason why this feature was not added for python 2.7? I am now trying to backport the patch to python 2.7. any insight into this would be appreciated. Thanks ani ___ 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

Most certainly: Python 2.7 (and thus Python 2) is feature-frozen; no As are 3.2 and now 3.3. Every version is feature frozen when released. Bugfix releases only contain bugfixes. new features can be added to it. People wanting new features need to port to Python 3.
