Maybe it is not intended, but for all other domains I tested, it 

worked:



>>> socket.gethostbyaddr('www.sf.net')

('sourceforge.net', ['203.250.35.66.in-addr.arpa'], 

['66.35.250.203'])



So that's some kind of inconsistence.

Of course it results in an error! 'www.google.com' is not an

IP number. Use socket.gethostbyname to resolve host names.



Closing as invalid.

What platform? What compiler? What exact version of Python?

What was the error? 



Does the same code work under an earlier version of Python?

If so, which version?
