Windows, Python and low level networking

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 ->
import socket
help(socket)

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

Google is your friend:

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

in the news a bit lately...)

The OP may get 302'd though! ;-)

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

Hi, I'm trying to use microthreads under stackless python, since they sound like exactly what I am after, but I am having very little success. I've got a fresh install of python 2.3.3 from python.org, then downloaded the binary python2.3 release of stackless python from www.stackless.com. This contained three files: python23.dll, python23.lib, python23.exp

I'm self taught and most of what I've been working on for the past several years has been entirely in Perl and Java. I've noticed that I can code about 5 times faster in Perl than Java, in part because I feel like whenever I want to do something in Java, I have to create an object, do a few preperatory things, then do what I need, but in Perl, I just call the routine. Java, however, does much better at cross platform apps, especially if...

Alright, so I've been following some of the arguments about enhancing parallelism in python, and I've kind of been struck by how hard things still are. It seems like what we really need is a more pythonic approach. One thing I've been seeing suggested a lot lately is that running jobs in separate processes, to make it easy to use the latest multiprocessor machines. Makes a lot of sense to me, those processors are going to be more and...

Greetings, I'm interested in a simple content-based internet firewall/filter, similar to dansguardian (http://dansguardian.org/), but written in python, and for windows. I assumed such a project would already exist, but my searches on freshmeat, and google turned up empty. I would be interested in starting my own project if necessary, so I have two questions: 1) Does any one no of such a project?

Hi, I'm planning to learn a language for 'client' software. Until now, i 'speak' only some web based languages, like php.

Its free, easy to learn and some favorite programs of my are written in Python / can understand Python (like OpenOffice) etc.

Hello, I wish to do some low level network stuff using python. I've googled somewhat and came up with pylibpcap, trouble is I can't compile it on my Ubuntu 6.10 workstation. Can someone please suggest a way to read some bits from random ports? I'm looking to write a simple pen-testing tool that would try from one side connecting to ports and from the other side sniff traffic to see on what ports traffic is coming.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
