Or you write, write, write in quick succession. Nagle's Algorithm means that if the first one hasn't yet been acknowledged, the second one will be delayed, which means it'll probably be combined with the third and sent when the first one's ACK comes through. Stream sockets guarantee a stream of bytes; datagram sockets guarantee datagrams. Weird how that goes, isn't it? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
