Yes, I was catching up on that, but perhaps not
keeping up with it...
:-)
Seems unlikely that any code in netpth would be based on the behavior of PyDECnet, but
anyway, that detail will improve soon. So what's
the bottom line here? Is netpth rolling over and dying actually legitimate or is there a
better algorithm to use?
I don't think there any better algorithm. Why netpth throws errors is also unclear.
Maybe it has a more rigid idea on how circuit names should look? PyDECnet allows pretty
much anything as a circuit name. DEC was a bit more conservative... I think you need to
dig around on that maybe.
