[Pythonmac-SIG] Subtle difference between PythonMac and command line on OS X

[Pieter Claerhout]

The socket I'm trying to open is actually a SocketServer accepting requests
from other computers, and that's a bit difficult if it's only listening on
127.0.0.1...

On command line:

sudo hostname 192.168.0.4

...but that probably doesn't really do what you want.

I'd guess that he reason for the difference is there are entirely
different subsystems returning the value. PythonMac using GUSI while
MachoPython (command line on OS X) uses standard POSIX calls.

So, this probably isn't a bug, just expected deviations across
platforms (PythonMac and MachoPython are different platforms.)

Whats wrong with opening the socket to 'localhost' on the command line
version?
