> Should I add a portable helper to the
\> socket module (socket.get/set\_inheritable)?

Add the two following functions to the socket module:

def get\_inheritable(sock):
� � if os.name == 'nt':
� � � � return os.get\_handle\_inheritable(sock.fileno())
� � else:
� � � � return os.get\_inheritable(sock.fileno())

def set\_inheritable(sock, inheritable):
� � if os.name == 'nt':
� � � � os.set\_handle\_inheritable(sock.fileno(), inheritable)
� � else:
� � � � os.set\_inheritable(sock.fileno(), inheritable)

Usage: socket.get\_inheritable(sock) and socket.set\_inheritable(sock, True)

\> Or add 2 methods to the socket class?

Add the two following methods to the socket class:

� � def get\_inheritable(self):
� � � � if os.name == 'nt':
� � � � � � return os.get\_handle\_inheritable(self.fileno())
� � � � else:
� � � � � � return os.get\_inheritable(self.fileno())

� � def set\_inheritable(self, inheritable):
� � � � if os.name == 'nt':
� � � � � � os.set\_handle\_inheritable(self.fileno(), inheritable)
� � � � else:
� � � � � � os.set\_inheritable(self.fileno(), inheritable)

Usage: s.get\_inheritable() and sock.set\_inheritable(True)
