Jp gave you the answer that he has done this. I've spent quite a bit of time since 2.1 days trying to improve the reliability. I think it has gotten much better. Valgrind is run on (nearly) every release. We look for various kinds of problems. I try to review C code for these sorts of problems etc. There are very few known issues that can crash the interpreter. I don't know of any memory leaks. socket code is pretty well tested and heavily used, so you should be in fairly safe territory, particularly on Unix. n -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
