[ias0nas]

Is it possible to have low level netwoking with python under Windows?
Like raw sockets?
Is it possible to send a single packet using python under windows?

Thank you

Maybe this will help.

From the interpreter ->

Which gives you all sorts of neat information on the socket module.

Google is your friend:

Try searching with "python sockets", for example...

(You *have* heard of Google, haven't you? It's been
in the news a bit lately...)

Yes. But be aware of restrictions on raw sockets in XP SP2:

and don't blame it on Python if it doesn't work

There's a way to overcome this, but it comes with its load of other
problems.

Anyway, this doesn't belong there, so
