Description:
MySQL connection fails on older versions of FreeBSD. Seems to be a FreeBSD bug. socket.getaddrinfo error 

server# uname -a
FreeBSD media 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #1: Sun Dec 16 16:06:40 EET 2007     admin@test.test:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SYS001  i386

server# python3 --version
Python 3.3.0

2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' ([Errno 9] servname not supported for ai_socktype) Traceback (most recent call last):

How to repeat:
Just run python 3 program with MySQL connector on older version of FreeBSD

Thank you for the report.

According to official python 3.3 documentation at http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/socket.html#socket.getaddrinfo

"
In these tuples, family, type, proto are all integers and are meant to be passed to the socket() function. 
"

But later later, at http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/socket.html#socket.socket

it doesn't appear that type=0 is valid constant, because relevant constants in sys/socket.h start with 1.

It looks that type=0 is handled properly on most of systems, but still it isn't valid value for "type" parameter. 

Thus putting this to "Verified".
