I recently noted that urllib2.urlopen (...) for http:// urls
does not make an explicit call to close the underlying
HTTPConnection socket once the data from the socket is read.
This might not be required since the garbage collector will
close & collect open sockets that are not closed, but it might
cause the system to run out of socket memory if there are
multiple threads, each opening a socket and the gc not running
in between.
This specifically happens in my HarvestMan program which uses
multiple threads to achieve fast offline web downloads.
A patch to fix this in urllib2.py would be nice.
Thanks

In which case you'd be well advised to add this as a bug report on
Sourceforge, as that is the only way to guarantee it will come to (and
stay in) the developers' attention.
It isn't that hard to do.

Does this cause trouble in your app?
I tried using urllib2 with threads a while back, and failed miserably.
Do you reckon the problem you've found could cause deadlock? Seems
unlikely, but I was at the point of having to read the threading
module's code to get any further with my deadlock bug, so I'm
clutching at straws...

Steve's right that it's not hard to do.
Unfortunately, since people who actually fix bugs (ie. Martin von
Loewis <0.8 wink>) are in short supply, that doesn't guarantee that it
will come to anybody's attention. Of course, you have a *vastly*
higher chance of getting a bug fixed if you provide a patch with
appropriate docs and test code to go with it.

I just tried this:
>>> import urllib2
>>> urllib2.urlopen( "https://passenger.ssc.com/~dmarti/contrib-faq/" )
It sits forever. Loading that URL in a normal browser gets me a popup asking
about server certificate authenticity, which presumably is what urllib2 is
blocking at.
How can I prepare my code for this eventuality and ensure it doesn't block?

Hi,
I have the following problem when I am working with sockets in C#. I do not
remember running into the same problem some while ago, when working with
sockets from C++ (using native code, not managed).
I create a server socket, and then listen on it. I then accept a new
connection from that server socket. If I now close the server socket, it
also closes the accepted connection as well, automatically. This feels
stupid.

Assume that in C#, I create a server socket (listener) and code to start
new threads with each connection using BeginAccept(). After some time,
I have three threads running, each with their own client socket
connection. If I close the listener socket, will the client sockets
also shut down? Or do I need to manually shut these down as well?

I have written a script that uses the urllib2 module to download web
pages for parsing.
If there is no network interface, urllib2 hangs for a very long time
before it raises an exception. I have set the socket timeout with
socket.setdefaulttimeout(), however, where there is no network
interface, this seems to be ignored - presumably, because without a
network interface, there is nothing for the socket module to interact
with.

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,...
