STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Connection._send_bytes() has a comment about broken pipes:
def _send_bytes(self, buf): # For wire compatibility with 3.2 and lower n = len(buf) self._send(struct.pack("=i", len(buf))) # The condition is necessary to avoid "broken pipe" errors # when sending a 0-length buffer if the other end closed the pipe. if n > 0: self._send(buf) But the OSError(32, "Broken pipe") occurs on sending the buffer size (a chunk of 4 bytes: self._send(struct.pack("=i", len(buf)))), not on sending the buffer content.
