Summary: WinSock 2 support on Win32 w/ MSVC++ 6
Initial Comment:
WinSock 2 isn't supported on 2.3. The capability is
there, but the Microsoft C++ version is incorrectly
specified to the preprocessor, VC++ 6 (the version used
to build the official Python Win32 executable) misses the
#if's and links to wsock32.lib, instead. This results in the
programmer only being able to use WinSock 1, instead of
WinSock 2's useful functions.
On modern Win32's, WinSock 2 is prevalent, so the
switch shouldn't cause too much trouble, as well as
providing additional functionality.
The problem appears to be line 16 of socketmodule.h,
which includes WinSock 2 #if _MSC_VER >= 1300 and
WinSock 1 otherwise. (IP_HDRINCL is a part of WinSock
2.) Apply this patch to use WinSock 2 on MS VC++ 6
(1200), which is what the Python Win32 builds are
compiled with. (1300 is .Net? maybe?) pyconfig.h also
needs to be patched.
Also, the _socket moduleneeds to link with ws2_32.lib
instead of wsock32.lib. (Project -> Settings -> highlight
_socket -> Win32 release -> Link tab ->
in "Object/library modules" change wsock32.lib to
ws2_32.lib).
With these changes, IP_HDRINCL exists in socket:
C:\>python
Python 2.3.3 (#51, Dec 18 2003, 20:22:39) [MSC
v.1200 32
bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import socket
>>> socket.IP_HDRINCL
2
>>>
And it works as it should, as do other obscure WinSock 2
functions.
