Enhancement

This issue / PR addresses two missing servers from thesocketserver module

Current behaviour

socketserver has the following

Observe the two gaps marked by "???"

Proposal

In the casehasattr(socket, "AF_UNIX") and hasattr(os, "fork") we enable the two missing servers as

classForkingUnixStreamServer(ForkingMixIn,UnixStreamServer):passclassForkingUnixDatagramServer(ForkingMixIn,UnixDatagramServer):pass

These follow the established naming convention

This enhancement is completely forwards/backwards compatible

Mentions in the documentation are included in the PR corresponding to this issue

Pitch

GooglingForkingUnixStreamServer shows a few people / codebases which define such a class in the same manner as above. I myself have done so in aproject.

These classes seem to have been overlooked because they require twoif checks forhasattr(socket, "AF_UNIX") andhasattr(os, "fork").

It seems clear to me therefore that these two classes should be added to thesocketserver standard library module

Some people prefer forks to threads
