Subject: Give the Windows socket wrapper function default values for its 'family'
X-Git-Tag: v2.2.3~13
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6de17d2ce334f88d601646694f6d7a6cbfa5416e;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Give the Windows socket wrapper function default values for its 'family'
and 'type' arguments.  This improves x-platform compatibility (e.g., on
Unix systems socket() already supported these default arguments).

No need to do anything here for 2.3 -- it already fixed this glitch in a
different way.
