[issue37495] socket.inet_aton parsing issue on some libc versions

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at redhat.com> added the comment:

Attached inet_aton_pton.py is a proof-of-concept which reimplements inet_aton() using inet_pton(). It supports a.b.c.d, a.b.c, a.b and a formats. I'm not sure which exception should be raised in case of parsing error.

socket.inet_aton() raises OSError"illegal IP address string passed to inet_aton") using C code:

    PyErr_SetString(PyExc_OSError,
                    "illegal IP address string passed to inet_aton");
