New submission from Chris Herdt <cherdt@gmail.com>: The documentation for socket.getfqdn() includes this info: "In case no fully qualified domain name is available, the hostname as returned by gethostname() is returned." However, that does not appear to be correct. To reproduce a case that exhibits contrary behavior:
import socket socket.getfqdn("test") 'test' socket.gethostname() 'centos7minimal.osric.net'
