Dear all, I'm seeking enlightenment on the error codes returned by the socket.getaddrinfo() function. Consider the following on python 2.5 on Windows
import urllib urllib.urlopen("http://nonexistent") [snip traceback] IOError: [Errno socket error] (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')
So the error number is 11001. But when I try to find a symbolic constant in the errno module corresponding to this error number, I can't find one.
import errno errno.errorcode[11] 'EAGAIN' errno.errorcode[11001] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> KeyError: 11001
Looking through the C source for the socket module doesn't provide any clarity (although my C is a little rusty). That module has a special function, set_gaierror(), for handling error returns from getaddrinfo. But I can't see if or how the resulting error codes relate to the errno module. Is there supposed to be symbolic constants in the errno module corresponding to getaddrinfo errors? I want jython to use the same errno symbolic constants as cpython, to ease portability of code. Regards, Alan.
