Hi,

I have a python pull request https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2489 that introduces AFVSOCK to the python C socket module. Unfortunately things have gone quiet for several weeks. Since I am new to this process I am unclear on what to expect as the next steps. I believe I have addressed all issues. If I am mistaken please let me know. A real functioning test setup is a bit painful and I would be happy to help in anyway I can. The Microsoft Hyper V team is now introducing support of vsock in the upstream linux kernel so its adoption is spreading amongst the various hypervisors. Any guidance on the basic timelines would be very helpful.

Hi Cathy,

thanks for your contribution! Your patch looks mostly fine. I pointed out some minor issues in my review.

Regards, Christian
