I've tried to modify my existing asyncore-based code but I'm encountering a lot of different problems I didn't manage to fix. It seems that playing with the do_handshake_on_connect flag doesn't make any difference. I guess that without some kind of documentation describing how to deal with non-blocking "ssl-wrapped" sockets I won't get too far. I try to ask two questions in case the answers may help me in some way:
1 - What pending() method is supposed to do (it's not documented)? 2 - By reading ssl.py code I noticed that when do_handshake_on_connect flag is False the do_handshake() method is never called. Is it supposed to be manually called when dealing with non-blocking sockets? In the meanwhile I noticed something in the ssl.py code which seems to be wrong: def recv (self, buflen=1024, flags=0): if self._sslobj: if flags != 0: raise ValueError( "non-zero flags not allowed in calls to sendall() on %s" % self.__class__) while True: try: return self.read(buflen) except SSLError, x: if x.args[0] == SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ: continue else: raise x else: return socket.recv(self, buflen, flags) I don't know the low levels but that while statement which continues in case of SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ seems to be wrong (blocking), at least when dealing with non-blocking sockets. I think the proper way of doing recv() here is letting SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ propagate and let the upper application (e.g. asyncore) deal with it.
