Antoine Pitrou added the comment: The way socket timeouts are implemented is by using select() to determine whether the socket is ready for read/write. In this case, select() probably marks the socket ready even though the queue is full, which later raises EAGAIN.
About SO_SNDTIMEO and SO_RCVTIMEO, POSIX says "it is implementation-defined whether the SO_SNDTIMEO option can be set". Also, they would not necessarily apply to other operations such as accept(). ---------- nosy: +neologix, pitrou versions: -Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23351> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
