[issue26227] Windows: socket.gethostbyaddr(name) fails for non-ASCII hostname

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

I think PyUnicode_DecodeMBCS(name, strlen(name), "surrogatepass") captures the intention better, and is less likely to break in the future (apart from all the ways it's currently broken :) )

You should be right about the workaround too.
