[Python-Dev] python sendmsg()/recvmsg() implementation

[Kálmán Gergely]

Hello

This is the rewritten-from-scratch implementation of the 
sendmsg()/recvmsg() methods.
Any comments / suggestions / flames are very welcome. Currently it 
supports what I need
and I'm only releasing it, because I don't have much time to develop it 
further in the
forseeable future (1-2 months). It is rewritten from scratch, using the 
python c-api
documents. I've tried my best, but I wouldn't bet that it works as it's 
supposed to. I'd be
glad if someone could give me a review on what I've done wrong.

The core parts are implemented correctly (I think), the features that 
are missing:
- using scatter/gather
- using it with non-stream oriented sockets (doesn't support addresses 
/msg_name/)

These should be very easy to implement though. I will fix the errors 
that are present right
now, and if no one takes up the task I will implement the missing 
features also. You might
have to wait for it a little though.

Thanks in advance

Cheers,
Kalman Gergely
