issues that crop up from time to time, but this change seems to have been
pretty stable (no spurious warnings) for about a week.
Other modules which use threads may require similar use of
threading_setup/threading_cleanup from test_support.
- Following Guido's comments, renamed
* pack_to -> pack_into
* recv_buf -> recv_into
* recvfrom_buf -> recvfrom_into
- Made fixes to _struct.c according to Neal Norwitz comments on the checkins
list.
- Converted some ints into the appropriate -- I hope -- ssize_t and size_t.
* Added socket.recv_buf() and socket.recvfrom_buf() methods, that use the buffer
protocol (send and sendto already did).
* Added struct.pack_to(), that is the corresponding buffer compatible method to
unpack_from().
* Fixed minor typos in arraymodule.
socket.gethostname() in the check for a valid return.
Also clarified docs (official and docstring) that the value from gethostname()
is returned if gethostbyaddr() doesn't do the job.
a non-standard protocol and on a lower port than the tcp/udp entries,
which breaks the assumption that there will only be one service by a
given name on a given port when no protocol is specified.
Previous versions of this code have had other problems as a result of
different service definitions amongst common platforms. As this platform
has an extra, unexpected, service entry, I've special cased the platform
rather than re-order the list of services checked to highlight the pitfall.
and test_support.run_classtests() into run_unittest()
and use it wherever possible.
Also don't use "from test.test_support import ...", but
"from test import test_support" in a few spots.
From SF patch #662807.
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
See SF patch #658327.
This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).
least on OS/2 (see note on SF patch 555085 by A I MacIntyre) but
looks like the test *could* fail on any other platform too -- there's
no guarantee that recv() reads all data.
prints function and module names, which is more informative now that
we repeat some tests in slightly modified subclasses.
Add a test for read() until EOF.
Add test suites for line-buffered (bufsize==1) and a small custom
buffer size (bufsize==2).
Restructure testUnbufferedRead() somewhat to avoid a potentially
infinite loop.
and this broke a Zope "pipelining" test which read multiple responses
from the same connection (this attaches a new file object to the
socket for each response). Added a test for this too.
(I want to do some code cleanup too, but I thought I'd first fix
the problem with as little code as possible, and add a unit test
for this case. So that's what this checkin is about.)
and age of rampant computer breakins I imagine there are plenty of systems
with telnet disabled. Successful check of at least one getservbyname() call
is required for success
