Now my observation on FC4 ( kernel version 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
select() can return before timeout with a
Interrupted system call (EINTR) error,
Nothing Red-Hat-specific, or even Linux-specific, about this. It's a
standard *nix thing. _All_
When using socket.socket.settimeout we normally only guard against
socket.timeout exception.Now the implementation of settimeout in
Python-2.4.3/Modules/socketmodule.c sets the socket fd to
nonblocking and uses select() to timeout
