[Python-Dev] PEP 446: issue with sockets (original) (raw)

Since this is a new API and only applies to sockets, making them methods sounds good. (I'd put the 'nt' test outside the method defs though so they are tested only once per import.)

Add the two following functions to the socket module: def getinheritable(sock): if os.name == 'nt': return os.gethandleinheritable(sock.fileno()) else: return os.getinheritable(sock.fileno()) def setinheritable(sock, inheritable): if os.name == 'nt': os.sethandleinheritable(sock.fileno(), inheritable) else: os.setinheritable(sock.fileno(), inheritable) Usage: socket.getinheritable(sock) and socket.setinheritable(sock, True) > Or add 2 methods to the socket class? Add the two following methods to the socket class: def getinheritable(self): if os.name == 'nt': return os.gethandleinheritable(self.fileno()) else: return os.getinheritable(self.fileno()) def setinheritable(self, inheritable): if os.name == 'nt': os.sethandleinheritable(self.fileno(), inheritable) else: os.setinheritable(self.fileno(), inheritable) Usage: s.getinheritable() and sock.setinheritable(True) Victor
