Base{Selector,Proactor}EventLoop each have a sock_connect() method, both of which unconditionally "try" to run base_events' _check_resolved_address() which is apparently meant to raise an exception when called with an unresolved IP hostname. (because on some OSes it cannot be done asynchronously? WTF?)

Anyhow, the current implementation prevents ANY address family other than IP (and UNIX, which is special cased) to raise the exception, no matter if it's resolved or not.

So please, call _ipaddr_info() for IP only.

I cannot run your test program. Can you explain what it does and what you expected?

Also, watch your language.
msg266514 - (view) Author: (pyptr2) Date: 2016-05-27 21:18
The test program should try to connect to a bluetooth device, using asyncio.
The bluetooth address is obviously made up, so it would likely fail to do so, but it should not raise an exception before even trying:

$ python3.5 test_async_btsock.py

pyptr2, can you reproduce this with latest asyncio (from github.com/python/asyncio)?
msg266518 - (view) Author: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) * (Python committer) Date: 2016-05-27 22:18
Maybe the form requirements for Bluetooth addresses are different than for IP or ipv6? I guess the validation should be protocol-specific.

Right, I've just looked at the code [1].  We should return from _ipaddr_info if family is not an AF_UNSPEC, AF_INET or AF_INET6.

Actually, we should probably return in case of AF_UNSPEC too.

Thanks for looking into this. Some comments:

1.
yuri, I haven't tried the github repo. Is that where the development happens? The description suggests it is outdated since the adoption, but there are some commits that aren't in hg...?
Anyhow, the relevant code looks identical to me.

2.
guido, yes validation would be domain specific.
But, just to understand: why validate at all?
If I give create_connection() or sock_connect() an unresolved address, then I would expect some "yield from resolve(domain, name)" to happen, which would be getaddrinfo() for IP-domain. If that would hang the event loop on some platform, do it in an executor. This is exactly what create_server() already does, by the way.

3.
AF_UNPSEC seems to mean (AF_INET or AF_INET6) to a lot of people these days, possibly because getaddrinfo() accepts these three AFs. I am not 100% sure, but that is why I think it is reasonable that _ipaddr_info() handles AF_UNSPEC in the way it does.

4.
For my use case, anything that stops check_resolve() from raising when given a resolved non-IP address would be enough for now.

> Why validate at all?

Because (at least for the IP 4/6 protocols) when you give a host name
Python's socket code will do a synchronous DNS lookup which would hold
up the entire event loop until it's done. This would be a major
problem in some cases, so we want to disallow it completely.

I can reproduce this. On Ubuntu 14.04 I installed "libbluetooth-dev" and then built Python 3.5.1 from source, confirmed the socket module has AF_BLUETOOTH and BTPROTO_RFCOMM. Running pyptr2's script gives the traceback pyptr2 reported.

Yury and I discussed a fix, which I'll propose as a patch in the asyncio GitHub repo.

Revision 3f49e89be8a9 seems to be the cause of an x86 Tiger buildbot failure:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Tiger%203.x/builds/10924/steps/test/logs/stdio
======================================================================
FAIL: test_create_connection_no_inet_pton (test.test_asyncio.test_base_events.BaseEventLoopWithSelectorTests)

Thanks Martin. That test verifies behavior that I observe in Mac OS 10.10 and other modern platforms:

>>> socket.getaddrinfo('::2', 80, socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.IPPROTO_TCP)
[(30, 1, 6, '', ('::0.0.0.2', 80, 0, 0))]

Investigating, I wrote a C program to call getaddrinfo on my Mac OS X Tiger x86 virtual machine, and indeed it resolves "::2" with family AF_INET6 in "hints" as an IPv4 address, "0.0.0.2". However, the same setup resolves "::1" as an IPv6 address, "::1".

Someone who knows more about IPv6 than I might guess the cause?

In any case, I wonder if replacing "::2" with "::1" at test_base_events.py:1188, and replacing the regex '::(0\.)*2' with '::(0\.)*1' at line 1195 would fix the test for Tiger.

Could you try that please? I'm having trouble compiling Python for Tiger so I don't know how to test it on my virtual machine.
msg268383 - (view) Author: Martin Panter (martin.panter) * (Python committer) Date: 2016-06-12 14:14
Okay changing to ::1 might have a decent chance of success. If nobody else comes forward, I can try committing it and see if it fixes the buildbot.
msg268404 - (view) Author: A. Jesse Jiryu Davis (emptysquare) * Date: 2016-06-12 22:33
Thanks, I'm not a core dev or I'd try it myself.

Yury, do you think that's a good approach, or should I mock getaddrinfo for that test? I fear mocking out too much and accidentally not testing anything, or of making tests that someone *else* could accidentally change so they don't test anything.
