This data processing style can be generally fine as long as you would like to work without a thread (or process) pool. > and then it completely forgets about the thread I have taken another look at the implementation of the corresponding methods. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/socketserver.py#L656 I get an other impression from the statements “self._threads.append(t)” (process_request) and “thread.join()” (server_close). > -- the thread is independent and completes the handling of the request.

Will the development situation evolve any more here? Regards, Markus -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
