socket objects have a little quirk. If you try to receive 0 bytes on a
blocking socket, they block. That is, if I call recv(0), it blocks
(until some data arrives).
I think that's wrong, but I don't want to argue that. I would like to
create a subclass of socket that fixes the problem. Ideally, something
like:
class new_socket(socket):
def recv( self, bufsize, flags=0 ):
if bufsize == 0:
return ""
else:
return socket.recv( bufsize, flags )
They only problem is, sockets return socket objects via the accept
call. And the socket returned is of type socket, of course, not
new_socket, as I would like. I could override accept() to return a
new_socket, but I don't know how to convert the old socket to a new
socket. That is, I'd like to add a method to the class above something
like:
def accept( self ):
conn, addr = socket.accept()
<convert conn, which is type socket to type new_socket>
return ( conn, addr )
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do the above?
