Summary: Problem with ftplib on HP-UX11i

Initial Comment:
The following code fails on Python 2.3 (and 2.3.1).



import ftplib

f = ftplib.FTP()

f.connect('hostname', 21)



this raises:



socket.gaierror: (8, 'host nor service provided, or not 

known')



In FTP.connect() it is the call to socket.getaddrinfo() 

that is raising the exception.



The same code works OK on Python 2.2.1



If I pass an IP address instead of a hostname, the code 

runs OK on Python 2.3

I had already applied the workaround to my 2.3.1 build.



I don't think configure was broken with Python 2.3 - and it 

was with 2.3 that I first noticed the problem.

Hm. I wonder if this is related to the configure broken-ness.

Can you apply the workaround from

http://www.python.org/2.3.1/bugs.html and see if the problem

is fixed?
