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

As are 3.2 and now 3.3. Every version is feature frozen when released. Bugfix releases only contain bugfixes.

new features can be added to it. People wanting new features need to port to Python 3.

In particular 3.3.
