Bug 716998 – dev-python/pypy3: AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'sethostname'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeffrey Lin 2020-04-10 22:15:24 UTC]

This causes a minor issue with newer versions of sys-apps/portage that want to use socket.sethostname(), notibly [1].  When using ebuild or the emerge frontend, the following message will show up in build logs:

Unable to set hostname: module 'socket' has no attribute 'sethostname' (for FEATURES="network-sandbox")

Reproduce with:

pypy3 -c 'import socket; print(socket.sethostname)'

Confirmed. Except that issue using pypy3 with portage is seamless

We could add a workaround to Portage, I guess, as we load libc anyway.

it has returned as different error in pypy-7.3.2.

Unable to set hostname: expected unicode, got bytes object (for FEATURES="network-sandbox")

[Comment 5 Georgy Yakovlev 2020-09-29 02:59:25 UTC]

I meant pypy3-7.3.2 ofc.

Confirmed

> Confirmed

I mean I can reproduce it in pypy3-7.3.2

[Comment 8 Michał Górny 2020-10-04 21:15:55 UTC]

This should be fixed in -r1 now.

[Comment 9 Michał Górny 2020-10-04 21:16:05 UTC]

(of pypy3-exe/-bin)
