If you look at socket module, there are around 29 AF_* constants (like AF_INET). On the other hand, there is only one PF_ constant: PF_PACKET. This constant is also defined as AF_PACKET. Following the "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." advice, Python 3 removed the <> operator. I know it's a bit late to change things in Python 3, but should socket.PF_PACKET be removed, in favor of socket.AF_PACKET? (of course, before being removed, it would be left as deprecated for quite some time) |

There are now more protocol families defined (PF_RDS, PF_CAN), etc. Since both AF_ and PF_ are valid (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets#Protocol_and_address_families for more information), and there is so much code out there in the wild using either form, let's just keep it that way. |
