Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Methods socket.sendmsg() and socket.recvmsg() are implemented only for Unix-like systems.
But Windows OS has similar API too: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winsock2/nf-winsock2-wsasendmsg
Implementing these methods for WinSock2 will improve Python code portability.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
