Bas Wijnen added the comment: After trying to use this, I think ssl.pending is a valuable function that should be supported and documented.
My use case is a half-synchronous system, where I want most calls to block but asynchronous events are possible as well. Switching the socket between blocking and non-blocking all the time is annoying and results in code that is harder to read. With ssl.pending, I can simply repeat the read as long as data is pending. Setting my buffer size high might technically work, but that seems too fragile. I don't like using an undocumented function either, but I'm hoping that gets fixed. ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
