New submission from ali <None>:
I don't pretend to understand this too well, but:
{{{
from twisted.internet import reactor, ssl
from twisted.words.protocols import irc
from twisted.internet.protocol import ClientFactory
from twisted.names import client
reactor.installResolver(client.createResolver())
class Bot(irc.IRCClient):
nickname = 'screwytestcase'
def signedOn(self):
print 'Signed On'
class BotFac(ClientFactory):
protocol = Bot
def clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason):
print 'Failed', connector, reason
f = BotFac()
reactor.connectSSL("testnet.freenode.net", 9003, f, ssl.ClientContextFactory())
reactor.run()
}}}
gives
{{{
Failed <twisted.internet.ssl.Connector instance at 0x99114ec> [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectError'>: An error occurred while connecting: -9: Unknown error 4294967287.
}}}
According to exarkun
{{{
19:58 < exarkun> aa_: testnet.freenode.net has some AAAA records and some A records
19:58 < exarkun> aa_: Seems like Twisted Names will give you back an AAAA record from getHostByName, if it happens to be first
in the response
19:59 < exarkun> aa_: which sometimes it will be, because servers like to jumble up the order
19:59 < exarkun> socket.gaierror: [Errno -9] Address family for hostname not supported
20:00 < exarkun> That's some bad error handling on our part; -9 isn't a real errno, but gaierror tricks us into thinking it is.
