My application makes several connections to a remote database server via tcp/ip. Usually all is fine,but occasionally the server is down or the internet does not work and then there is the 30 sec to several minutes timeout wait for the tcp to give up. Is there anything I can do without using threads,sockets,twisted etc. to have following :
pseudocode : try for 10 seconds if database.connected : do your remote thing except raise after 10 seconds abort any connection attempt do something else Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
