'module' object has no attribute 'IPPROTO_UDP'

I am writing an app that uses an UDP socket. I saw that the documentation has been updated recently to add the UDP socket functionality that was not present before. However when I call

Code: Select all

socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)

I get AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'IPPROTO_UDP' which suggests that the functionality may not be there yet.

Code: Select all

>>> os.uname()
(sysname='esp8266', nodename='esp8266', release='1.5.4(baaeaebb)', version='v1.8.4-dirty on 2016-10-06', machine='ESP module with ESP8266')

You can omit the final parameter.

In any case, its default value of 0 is usually the only possible value. In particular, I don't think Micropython supports more than one protocol per type.

The "protocol" parameter is normally only needed for unusual types of sockets, for example, if using raw or udplite sockets.

Omitting socket.IPPROTO_UDP works, thanks.

By the way, I am also packing my data in a struct for sending in the datagram. The import of the struct module does not follow this convention:

The modules are available by their u-name, and also by their non-u-name. The non-u-name can be overridden by a file of that name in your package path. For example, import json will first search for a file json.py or directory json and load that package if it is found. If nothing is found, it will fallback to loading the built-in ujson module.

However:

Code: Select all

>>> import struct
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'struct'
>>> import ustruct
>>>

Yeah, that bugged me a few times too. time/utime is another offender (on some ports).
