the socket module should include `getifaddrs` because it is necessary to translate the output of `if_nameindex` into addresses

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

socket.if_nameindex, socket.if_nametoindex and socket.if_indextoname all work in terms of interface names and indexes. But in order to do much of use with these values, you need to know what addresses they have, and as far as I can tell the socket module does not provide a means to do so.

This function exists in psutil, in netifaces, and there are various recipes lying around on Stack Overflow and elsewhere for accessing this function.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

Aucun fichier source ni aucun test n’est indiqué. Commencez par examiner socket.if_nameindex, socket.if_nametoindex et socket.if_indextoname, puis comparez les implémentations référencées de psutil et netifaces afin de définir le comportement et la couverture des plateformes de getifaddrs ; le travail est terminé lorsque le module socket expose les adresses des interfaces de manière cohérente.
