Hi folks,
https://bugs.python.org/issue27584 is an RFE to add AF_VSOCK support
to the socket module at least when the appropriate Linux system
headers are available.
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2489 aims to implement that
RFE, but the config check is failing in pre-merge CI - the required
kernel header isn't being found.
We think that's just because Ubuntu 14.04 is too old to have the
required header, and even though recent versions of RHEL/CentOS at
least nominally have the kernel module available, we're not sure the
required header is actually going to be present there either (it
definitely isn't there in the CentOS 7.3.1611 docker image, and RHEL
7.4 is currently still in beta, so even if it does include the
necessary header, we definitely aren't running it on any of our
current buildbots)
So my question is: are any of our current buildbots running
sufficiently recent Linux distros that they actually have this header?
If not, it would probably make sense to wait for at least one of them
to be updated before we accept the change.
Cheers,
Nick.
