[Python-Dev] xxx.get_fqdn() for the standard lib (original) (raw)

After sleeping over it, I noticed that at least BaseHTTPServer and ftplib also use a similar algorithm to get a fully qualified domain name.

Together with smtplib there are four occurences of the algorithm (2 in BaseHTTPServer). I think it would be good not to have four, but one implementation.

First I thought it could be socket.get_fqdn(), but it seems a bit troublesome to write it in C.

Should this go somewhere? If yes, where should it go?

I'll happily prepare a patch as soon as I know where to put it.
