b or c is fine, I have no preference. In regards to 'there is no way to create a blocking socket this way', Alan is off his rocker. Facundo has already stated that he would like to use something that will allow for the passing of None as a timeout argument to specify no timeout - aka blocking sockets, as per sock.settimeout(None) (through either **kwargs or timeout=sentinel). The function is needed, and the implementation is sufficient for its intended uses. - Josiah _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
