MemoryError in socket.py on Windows XP

Hi all,

I have a Python 2.3.2 application that uses the httplib package to download
files. On Windows XP only, I'm getting a MemoryError exception in the socket
module when files are around 2.8 MB in size. This is on a PC with 500MB of
RAM, so memory shouldn't be an issue.

Here's the portion of code leading up to the error that is doing the
download:

url = urlparse.urlpar se(uri)
netloc, path = url[1], url[2]
authHead = "Basic %s " % base64.encodest ring("%s:%s"%(n ame, password))
conn = httplib.HTTPCon nection(netloc)
conn.putrequest ("GET", urllib.quote(pa th))
conn.putheader( "Authorization" , authHead)
conn.endheaders ()
res = conn.getrespons e()

if str(res.status)[:2] != '20':
conn.close()
raise ContentTransfer Error(res.statu s, res.reason, None)

data = res.read()

The exception is thrown in line 301 of socket.py on the line:

data = self._sock.recv (recv_size)

Are there any gotchas with XP that I should be aware of? Are there any extra
headers that I should be including here?

Many thanks,

Jamie

The problem is basically in the subject line. I am building an Intranet site based on Zope/CMF/Plone. In order to fulfill the requirements Zope/Python must be run on Windows. Zope is running as a Wi32 service. When the python.exe process consume ~122MB (according to the Windows Task Manager) I start receiving MemoryError: out of memory exceptions. I've already checked for bad RAM and the server's RAM appears good.

Is it possible? In the parent process, I have a socket that binds, listens and then accepts new connections (which creates new sockets in the process). I want to be able to pass some of these new sockets to a spawned process. Is it possible, and if so how? Any help is much appreciated!! Mike

it is very strange for me that a simple event of closing socket that was in the the winsock object of vb6 , i didn't found yet in the vb.net the only way i found is to try to send something to the socket and if i got error then the socket is closed. there must be a way to get this event without trying to send something , since it is in the lower level

Here are three network-related exceptions. These were caught by "except" with no exception type, because none of the more specific exceptions matched. This is what a traceback produced: 1. File "D:\Python24\lib\socket.py", line 295, in read data = self._sock.recv(recv_size) timeout: timed out

Hi there, I have a script which walks a directory and calculates the md5 digest on a bunch of large files (~1G). The first file found works fine, but the second generates a MemoryError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "t2.py", line 70, in <module> walk_dirs(sys.argv) File "t2.py", line 53, in walk_dirs actual = calculate_digest(datafile) File "t2.py", line 28, in calculate_digest

Hi every1, I am writing a small client/server application and in it I want to send an image asynchronous from the client to the server through a TCP socket.

However, there is something wrong on the server side (i guess)... The server starts listening, the client starts sending...

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
