Subject: Fix host in address of socket.create_server example. (GH-17706)
X-Git-Tag: v3.8.2rc1~82
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0f40482fde59ff307569fa5676183dd8432809a8;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Fix host in address of socket.create_server example. (GH-17706)


Host as None in address raises TypeError since it should be string, bytes or bytearray.
(cherry picked from commit 43682f1e39a3c61f0e8a638b887bcdcbfef766c5)
