| Hi, socket.inet_aton() returns an 8 byte string when built on Linux/IA64. This should be 4 bytes on all architectures. Example: >>> import socket >>> socket.inet_aton('192.168.2.1') '\xc0\xa8\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00' The bug is caused by Modules/socketmodule.c using sizeof(unsinged long) when constructing the string, which is 8 bytes on Linux/IA64. The bug seems to be fixed in Python 2.3 in the case struct in_addr is available. Otherwise it still uses an unsigned long. Geert |

| Logged In: YES user_id=53605 I've just run into this problem, which is still present in current cvs. This now (2.3.x and cvs head) occurs for the code path where inet_aton is not detected by configure, so it's not a terribly common case. Of course, I have one ... The conversion needs to be done on a 32-bit quantity. It's a one-liner to fix, I'll submit a patch if I can make the patch manager work for me. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=752496 Please, could you verify if this problem persists in Python 2.3.4 or 2.4? If yes, in which version? Can you provide a test case? If the problem is solved, from which version? Note that if you fail to answer in one month, I'll close this bug as "Won't fix". Thank you! . Facundo |
