[issue6560] socket sendmsg(), recvmsg() methods

[Kálmán Gergely]

New submission from Kálmán Gergely <kalman.gergely at duodecad.hu>:

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
error-free. I'd be glad
if someone could give me a review on what I've might done wrong.

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. If no one takes up the task of
implementing the
missing features than I'll do it of course, you just have to wait a
little while. Of
course any errors present in the code right now will be fixed.

Thanks

Kalman Gergely
