    No model named _socket

    Hi,

    **obligatory python newbie warning*

    I have been trying to install python 2.3.2 on Solaris 2.7 (SPARC). Both
    'configure' and 'make' do not give problems, but 'make test' does complain:

    7 tests failed:
    test___all__ test_logging test_mimetools test_socket test_sundry
    test_tempfile test_urllib2

    All but test_tempfile can be traced back to the error:

    ImportError: No module named _socket

    I have been digging through the FAQ and the bug list, but I cannot find
    anything helpful. Any help is welcome. (I can provide more details, if
    necessary.)

      I just got (and solved) the same problem. What you should do is the following:
      - Go to your Modules directory and edit the file Setup
      - In this file, search for _socket and uncomment the line for the module (the
      one looking like "_socket socketmodule.c" )
      - Retry running "make"; if it works, you're done. If it doesn't (and it probably
      won't...;-), read on.
      - If the compile errors you got on socketmodule.c concerned macros AF_INET6 and
      INET_ADDRSTRLEN , make the following changes in the file (in this order):
      .. at line 317, add the following lines:
      #if defined(__sun) && ! defined(INET_AD DRSTRLEN)
      #define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16
      #endif
      .. the line 2975 should be a "#ifdef ENABLE_IPV6"; change it to:
      #if defined(ENABLE_ IPV6) && defined(AF_INET 6)

      If our problems were the same, this should make things work. You may have to
      reconfigure your Python installation using the flag --disable-ipv6.

      For Python-guys: the modifications above are indeed a quick and dirty hack, but
      actually make the "socket" module work on Solaris 7. Maybe they should be
      included in the next release.

          Your suggestions worked (I did not need to fiddle with the configuration
          and --disable-ipv6 flag). Just for completeness, the line 2975 of
          socketmodule.c (after addition at line 317) actually reads
          #ifndef ENABLE_IPV6

          Thanks for your help!
