I've tried using
socket.setdefau lttimeout(timeo ut)
to set the default timeout to 'timeout' for all sockets. The part
that's not clear to me, is that if this will affect
socket.gethostb yname(). In my observation the timeout setting did not
affect the DNS lookup.
It might be my misunderstandin g of the semantics here: would
setdefaulttimeo ut() only applies to any socket object newly created?
So gethostbyname() doesn't create a new socket (explicitly at least)
so timeout doesn't apply there? What should I do to get the intended
behavior?
Thanks a bunch!

Ok so for now I use a separate thread to run gethostbyname, and stop
waiting for the result if time is running up. But would be interested
in knowing a simpler way doing this. Thanks! fo************* @yahoo.com.tw (Fortepianissim o) wrote in message news:<ef******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... I've tried using

Hi all,
I just compiled Python 2.3.2 on Linux Mandrake 8.0, upgrading from Python 2.1. I
have one problem that I can't figure out: when I wanted to get "the" IP address
of the current host with Python 2.1, I did:
Python 2.1.1 (#12, Apr 10 2002, 17:52:08)
on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I'm getting a rather bizarre error while using the socket module. If I
start out disconnected from the net and then connect while the program or
interpreter session is open, I do not always gain the ability to resolve
or connect to hosts by name. Here is the problematic scenario:

>>> from socket import *
>>> gethostbyname('google.com') # Fails as expected

Good afternoon,
I'm rewriting a piece of perl code in C++ that simply checks
availability of a port.
It's fairly simple, and returns UP, DOWN or NODNS.
This works great, and is just what I need. Except when network issues,
or firewalls drop packets silently. It'll sit and hang around forever,
which grinds the scripts dependant upon it to a halt.

Hi,
I try to implement a reusable socket class to send and receive data.
It seems to work but I have 2 problems :
1) I rely on Socket.Available to detect that the connection is closed (no
more data to expect). Sometimes, Socket.Available returns 0 but the other
end of the connection did not close it !
2) This class will be used by many other classes so I have to use the

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with the socket module resolving a hostname. It
seems like this is a system level problem, but I'm not even sure where
to start. I can ping the smtp server by name and IP, but when
smtp.SMTP("theHost") tries to get the hostname, it keeps giving me the
following error:
File "bin/program.py", line 123, in notify
smtp = smtplib.SMTP("theHost")

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,...
