[fetchmail]bug in fetchmailconf, function autoprobe if using Python 2.1

2001-09-30 05:13:50
Hi, in the function autoprobe, line 1181 for
the version 1.40 :

1181c1181
<                 sock.connect(realhost, port)
---
                sock.connect((realhost, port))

As the probe is made within a try clause, the
reported error is that no server is active.
The shortcut without a tuple is accepted in
Python 1.52 but not in 2.1 :

Python 2.1 (#3, Jun  8 2001, 23:07:21)
[GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2

import socket
socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM).connect("onesite.org",110)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: connect() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
print sock.connect.__doc__
connect(address)
 
Connect the socket to a remote address.  For IP sockets, the address
is a pair (host, port).
