[issue35545] asyncio.base_events.create_connection doesn't handle scoped IPv6 addresses

[Максим Аристов]

New submission from Максим Аристов <aristovmax at gmail.com>:

loop.create_connection doesn't handle ipv6 RFC4007 addresses right since 3.7 


TEST CASE
# Set up listener on link-local address fe80::1%lo
sudo ip a add dev lo fe80::1

# 3.6 handles everything fine
socat file:/dev/null tcp6-listen:12345,REUSEADDR &
python3.6 -c 'import asyncio;loop=asyncio.get_event_loop();loop.run_until_complete(loop.create_connection(lambda:asyncio.Protocol(),host="fe80::1%lo",port="12345"))'

# 3.7 and later fails
socat file:/dev/null tcp6-listen:12345,REUSEADDR &
python3.7 -c 'import asyncio;loop=asyncio.get_event_loop();loop.run_until_complete(loop.create_connection(lambda:asyncio.Protocol(),host="fe80::1%lo",port="12345"))'

CAUSE

Upon asyncio.base_events.create_connection _ensure_resolved is called twice, first time here:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/asyncio/base_events.py#L908
then here through sock_connect:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/asyncio/base_events.py#L946
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/asyncio/selector_events.py#L458

_ensure_resolved calls getaddrinfo, but in 3.7 implementation changed:

% python3.6 -c 'import socket;print(socket.getaddrinfo("fe80::1%lo",12345)[0][4])'
('fe80::1%lo', 12345, 0, 1)

% python3.7 -c 'import socket;print(socket.getaddrinfo("fe80::1%lo",12345)[0][4])'
('fe80::1', 12345, 0, 1)

_ensure_connect only considers host and port parts of the address tuple:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/asyncio/base_events.py#L1272

In case of 3.7 first call to _ensure_resolved returns
('fe80::1', 12345, 0, 1)
then second call returns
('fe80::1', 12345, 0, 0)
Notice that scope is now completely lost and is set to 0, thus actual call to socket.connect is wrong

In case of 3.6 both first and second call to _ensure_resolved return
('fe80::1%lo', 12345, 0, 1)
because in 3.6 case scope info is preserved in address and second call can derive correct address tuple
