[issue8498] Cannot use backlog = 0 for sockets

[Daniel Evers]

New submission from Daniel Evers <dermojo at googlemail.com>:

I'm trying to rewrite a server application in python that accepts exactly 1 connection. I have a previous version written in C that can call listen() on a socket with a backlog of 0 connections, but this is not possible in python. In Modules/socketmodule.c (function socket_listen) the backlog is reset to at least "1".
