Windows Python 2.5.1 IPV6 problems

[Thomas DiZoglio]

Hi,

I'm trying to get some IPV6 python code running under
Windows. I have installed Python 2.5.1 for Windows
using the binaries from python.org. I'm a newbie to
Python programming as well.

The code works fine under Debian and MacOSX (both
using Python 2.5)

I have rebuilt the python binaries from source and set
ENABLE_IPV6. This didn't help. I have also read about
not being able to bind to a IPV4 and IPV6 socket. I
tried setting the setsockopt() call using IPV6_V6ONLY,
but this is not recognized by the python interpreter.

Thanks for any help I can get. I'm stuck on this and
searching the NET for help.

I get the following error:

C:\test_py>python ipv6.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks.

_sock = _realsocket(family, type, proto)

TypeError: an integer is required

So what values have family, type, and proto at that point?
Edit socket.py to find out.

Could it be that you also need to set socketType for your
Port subclass?
