[issue9377] socket, PEP 383: Mishandling of non-ASCII bytes in host/domain names

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

The failure of platform.uname is an independent bug. IMO, it shouldn't use socket.gethostname on Windows, but instead look at the COMPUTERNAME environment variable or call the GetComputerName API function. This is more close to what uname() does on Unix (i.e. retrieve the local machine name independent of DNS).

I have created issue10097 for this bug.
