How to set the socket type and the protocol of a socket using create_connection?

Show all headers | View raw

Hello everyone,

I want to use socket.create_connection(...) to set a source address in a ping implementation in python.

But how can I then set the type and the protocol? Because, before, I did:

icmp = socket.getprotobyname("icmp")
my_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, icmp)

But now, I do:

src_addr = socket.gethostbyname(src_addr)
dest_addr = socket.gethostbyname(dest_addr)
my_socket = socket.create_connection(dest_addr, socket.getdefaulttimeout(), src_addr)

Is there something like my_socket.setproto()? I haven't found such a function in the documentation.

Thank you,
Guillaume
