I was looking into a mechanism to get the aux fields from recvmsg() in python and I came across this issue. Looks like this feature was added in python 3.3. Is there any reason why this feature was not added for python 2.7? Most certainly: Python 2.7 (and thus Python 2) is feature-frozen; no new features can be added to it. People wanting new features need to port to Python 3.
Or you can use Twisted: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/python/sendmsg.c>
That module ought to have no dependencies outside of Twisted.
We only use it for passing file descriptors between processes, but I believe it should be able to deal with whatever other types of auxiliary data that you need from recvmsg; if not, please file a bug (at <http://twistedmatrix.com/>).
