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

<guillaume.comte10@gmail.com> declaimed the following in
gmane.comp.python.general:

	A later follow-up
> Unfortunatly, my_socket.bind((src_addr, 1)) doesn't work. I get the error message: "socket.error: [Errno 49] Can't assign requested address"...

	Since .bind() is used to set up a /listener/, the network stack
(LINK layer) probably has to be tied to the IP address; that is, a valid
"source" address needs to be supplied to .bind.

	Based upon http://linux.die.net/man/7/raw "Raw sockets allow new
IPv4 protocols to be implemented in user space. A raw socket receives or
sends the raw datagram not including link level headers. " implies that
you need to build the entire IP packet for your ICMP message... That
means you do NOT use socket methods to set fields -- you'll probably
have to use something like the struct module to lay out the entire IP
packet /including/ header contents, and then pass that as-is to the
socket.
