This may be more of a socket question than a python question; not sure. Using this code to instantiate/connect/set options connectionHandle = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) errorStatus = connectionHandle.connect_ex((ipAddress, port)) connectionHandle.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_RCVTIMEO, 60000)
Using this code to send: retSendAll = connectionHandle.sendall(messageToHost) Followed by this code to recv: bufferSize = 500000 responseBuffer = connectionHandle.recv(bufferSize) Occasionally (perhaps 5% of the time) the following exception gets raised: (10054, 'Connection reset by peer') Are there any changes I can make to the code above to eliminate the 10054 errors or to reduce the probability of encountering the 10054 error? Are there any settings that make the 'Connection reset by peer' condition less likely? Other posts on this subject seem to suggest that this can only be handled by: 1) detecting the 10054 error 2) issuing a message explaining the 'connection reset' condition followed by something along the lines of 'try again later'. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
