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

Non sono indicati file sorgente o test. Inizia esaminando socket.if_nameindex, socket.if_nametoindex e socket.if_indextoname, quindi confronta le implementazioni di psutil e netifaces a cui si fa riferimento per definire il comportamento e la copertura delle piattaforme di getifaddrs; il lavoro è completo quando il modulo socket espone gli indirizzi delle interfacce in modo coerente.
