Hi,
My setup is the following: I have socket s from which I want to read
and write. So I made the following set up:
There is a thread whose only job is to read. Any data read (from recv
call) is just passed to (some) Queue. This thread is "owned" by a
second thread waiting on a Queue for write requests. The thread just
pops these from the Queue, and calls the send method from the socket.
This thread also takes care of closing the socket or (possibly)
handling any exceptions raised due to socket operation.
So my question is: since I have two threads sharing the same socket,
even though one is only reading and the other does everything else, do
I have to watch out for any "concurrenc y" issues?
P.S: This is for learning experience. So it's of no use telling me
that I should learn Twisted :-) I may (eventually) get there, but at
the moment I feel more omfortable with working with plain blocking
sockets.
With my best regards,
G. Rodrigues

The first problem I can think of is the one that stopped me. Note the
code below... You can't close a blocked socket in python even from a
separate thread.
import unittest
import socket
import threading
import time
class SocketAcceptor ( threading.Threa d ):
def __init__( self, socket ):
threading.Threa d.__init__( self )
self.socket = socket
self.done = 0
def run( self ):
self.socket.bin d( ( "", 3424 ) )
self.socket.lis ten( 5 )
try:
child, ip = self.socket.acc ept()
except:
pass
self.done = 1
class SocketTester ( unittest.TestCa se ):
def testClose( self ):
ss = socket.socket()
acceptor_thread = SocketAcceptor( ss )
acceptor_thread .start()
time.sleep( 1 )
ss.close()
time.sleep( 1 )
self.assertEqua ls( acceptor_thread .done, 1 )
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()

Thanks for this piece of info. My experiences with my setup confirm
it.
I really want to keep the socket-closing in the write thread so my
problem is reduced to be able to order to read thread to die. What I
chose to do is to have it periodically check some exit flag to know
when to exit. I believe this can be done by calling select with a
timeout before the recv blocking call. Back to the docs and
Python-experimenting-mode.

Hi,
I have a problem with threads and sockets. I'll try to describe the
problem in words with pseudo-code.
I've been working on a few classes to make it easier to work with
threads. This framework, let us call it that, consists in two parts.
The first part is just a basic thread class deriving from
threading.Thread with a few extra functionality that makes it easier
for a thread to spawn a new thread and "father it". Each of its

Does anyone know the scope of the socket.setdefaulttimeout call? Is it
a cross-process/system setting or does it stay local in the application
in which it is called?
I've been testing this and it seems to stay in the application scope,
but the paranoid side of me thinks I may be missing something... any
confirmation would be helpful.

the way my program needs to go is --
1) open a socket and listen on it
2) moment a client connects to the socket - process some data (by
sending it to another machine), get the result and send it back to the
SAME socket - the data isnt a large value (measured in bytes rather
than MB or GB)
i TRIED thinking of this in the Asynchronous way - BeginReceive - then
pass to the OnClient Connected handler, which calls a Wait For Data

Hi
I have to write a multi-threaded program. I decided to take an OO
approach to it. I had the idea to wrap up all of the thread functions
in a mix-in class called Threadable. Then when an object should run
in its own thread, it should implement this mix-in class. Does this
sound like plausible design decision?
I'm surprised that C++ doesn't have such functionality, say in its
STL. This absence of a thread/object relationship in...

No - it's just what I said. create_socket creates one socket and passes

So a single socket has connect and accept called on it. Now, main does

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
