Hi:
I've been working on adapting Mercurial to run on IronPython 2.7, and
ran into http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/26852 which has stopped
me from getting `hg clone` working over SSL.
I noticed that for the ssl module, the IPY team mirrored the CPython
pattern of placing the platform-specific code in the _ssl compiled
module, and then wrapped the platform-independent around it in ssl.py
(almost entirely shared with CPython 2.7).
The socket module, however, does not. I admit I have a limited
understanding of the code, but at first blush, it appears that adopting
the _socket.cs/socket.py isn't out-of-the-question. Is there a story
behind this, or am I missing something obvious to everyone else?
The immediate benefit would be getting a free implementation of
_socketobject, _dummy, and dup(); it also improves DRY conformance, and
would help to limit behavioral differences with respect to other
implementations.
Thanks!
Regards,
Zack
P.S. Any advice on tackling issue #26852 is very warmly appreciated.
