inject_into_socket

✓ from win_inet_pton import inject_into_socket

✗ from win_inet_pton import inet_pton

Monkey-patches socket module on Windows so inet_pton and inet_ntop work the same as on Unix.

import socket from win_inet_pton import inet_pton, inet_ntop # Monkey-patch socket module to add missing functions on Windows socket.inet_pton = inet_pton socket.inet_ntop = inet_ntop # Now you can use inet_pton and inet_ntop directly via socket print(socket.inet_pton(socket.AF_INET, '8.8.8.8'))

Known issues

gotchaThis library is Windows-only. Importing it on non-Windows systems will raise an ImportError unless you guard it. Always use the check `if sys.platform == 'win32':` before importing.

fix

Wrap import in a platform check.

affects: all

gotchaThe library monkey-patches the built-in socket module. If you assign the functions via `socket.inet_pton = inet_pton`, ensure you do it only once to avoid double-patching. Doing it repeatedly is harmless but confusing.

fix

Apply the patch in a single location, e.g., at the start of your application.

affects: all

deprecatedPython 3.4+ on Windows includes official `inet_pton` support in the socket module. This library is only needed for Python 2.7 or earlier Python 3 versions. For modern Python, consider dropping it.

fix

For Python 3.4+, remove the dependency; the functions are built-in.

affects: >=3.4
