gevent._socket2 – Python 2 socket module

class socket(family=2, type=2, proto=0, _sock=None)[source]

Bases: object

gevent socket.socket for Python 2.

This object should have the same API as the standard library socket linked to above. Not all methods are specifically documented here; when they are they may point out a difference to be aware of or may document a method the standard library does not.

dup() → socket object[source]

Return a new socket object connected to the same system resource. Note, that the new socket does not inherit the timeout.

SocketType

alias of socket

create_connection(address, timeout=None, source_address=None) → socket[source]

Connect to address and return the gevent.socket.socket object.

Convenience function. Connect to address (a 2-tuple (host, port)) and return the socket object. Passing the optional timeout parameter will set the timeout on the socket instance before attempting to connect. If no timeout is supplied, the global default timeout setting returned by getdefaulttimeout() is used. If source_address is set it must be a tuple of (host, port) for the socket to bind as a source address before making the connection. A host of ‘’ or port 0 tells the OS to use the default.

getaddrinfo(host, port, family=0, socktype=0, proto=0, flags=0)[source]

Resolve host and port into list of address info entries.

Translate the host/port argument into a sequence of 5-tuples that contain all the necessary arguments for creating a socket connected to that service. host is a domain name, a string representation of an IPv4/v6 address or None. port is a string service name such as ‘http’, a numeric port number or None. By passing None as the value of host and port, you can pass NULL to the underlying C API.

The family, type and proto arguments can be optionally specified in order to narrow the list of addresses returned. Passing zero as a value for each of these arguments selects the full range of results.

gethostbyname(host) → address[source]

Return the IP address (a string of the form ‘255.255.255.255’) for a host.

gethostbyname_ex(host) -> (name, aliaslist, addresslist)[source]

Return the true host name, a list of aliases, and a list of IP addresses, for a host. The host argument is a string giving a host name or IP number. Resolve host and port into list of address info entries.

gethostbyaddr(ip_address) -> (name, aliaslist, addresslist)[source]

Return the true host name, a list of aliases, and a list of IP addresses, for a host. The host argument is a string giving a host name or IP number.

getnameinfo(sockaddr, flags) -> (host, port)[source]

Get host and port for a sockaddr.

getfqdn(name='')[source]

Get fully qualified domain name from name.

An empty argument is interpreted as meaning the local host.

First the hostname returned by gethostbyaddr() is checked, then possibly existing aliases. In case no FQDN is available, hostname from gethostname() is returned.
