[issue38285] Asyncio BaseEventLoop can support socket types other than SOCK_STREAM

[Malversán]

Malversán <malverspam at gmail.com> added the comment:

Certainly I have only tested it with SOCK_SEQPACKET, but apparently no one has ever tested this before with a socket type other than SOCK_STREAM. It may be worth to consider the possibility that the current asyncio implementation may also support some other SocketKind sockets:
- SOCK_SEQPACKET (tested)
- SOCK_DGRAM
- SOCK_RAW
- SOCK_RDM

I agree this is an enhancement to incorporate in future releases. I do not expect previous versions to be patched.
