[Python-Dev] Return error codes from getaddrinfo. (original) (raw)

Is there supposed to be symbolic constants in the errno module corresponding to getaddrinfo errors?

No. On Windows, there is a separate set of error codes, winerror.h

If you google for "winerror 11001", you find quickly that it is "host not found".

I want jython to use the same errno symbolic constants as cpython, to ease portability of code.

That will be very difficult to achieve, as Python is (deliberately) not even consistent across systems. Instead, it reports what the platform reports, so you should do the same in Java.
