Hi!
I am writing a network game where the server runs in a console window.
The person who has opened the server shall be able to stop the process of
accepting new clients. By now, I am handling that like this:
while 1:
try:
bla = socket.accept()
except KeyboardInterru pt:
break
socket.shutdown (2)
So the user can Ctrl+C and no more clients will be accepted.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Windows. So how can I give the user
the ability to quit the loop interactively? Any ideas?
Bye
Tobias

Several options.
1. Ctrl-Break will work if it's a console program and Ctrl-C
doesn't.
2. You can use a non-blocking socket and select(), which
will allow a periodic wakeup to check a flag that is set
by whatever mechanism you want to tell the prog to stop.
3. Have another thread, which can detect the request to
stop, open a connection to the server thread's socket
so that it will wake up... then it can check a flag
and terminate as in 2.

And how exactly do you propose to code this "non-blocking socket"? I've
no idea how to realize that? Could you maybe give me a little example of
how to work with socket.accept() and select()?

Sure, but did you look for yourself? I'm pretty sure Google
would turn up some good stuff for you if you tried with
"Python non-blocking socket accept select" or some subset
of that. If you look but can't find I'd be happy to help
point you even more specifically in the right direction.
(I suspect checking the documentation for the "select" module
would help too.)

Spent some very frustrating hours recoding to find a way of closing a server
socket, i'd not thought it would be any problem,
however, after complete failure and as a last resort, i looked at the python
wrapper module for sockets, and found that the close command doesn't actually
call the underlying close! this didn't seem right, so i added it, and my code
now works simply and as expected.

Hello,
I'm trying to write a fairly simple network program. The main thread spawns
a thread which creates a listener socket and then calls socket.accept on
it. socket.accept blocks indefinantly. My problem is that when the main
thread determines that it is time to quit, how do I get the spawned thread
to exit? Preferably I'd like the spawned thread to return from
socket.accept when the main thread tells it to and then check a shared...

How can I cleanly stop a thread that is currently blocking on
Socket.Receive?
I don't want to use Thread.Abort, because I would like the thread
method to exit cleanly, and the same code must run under the Compact
Framework, which does not support Abort.
Will Socket.Close cause the Receive method to finish, or is there a
better way?

socket objects have a little quirk. If you try to receive 0 bytes on a
blocking socket, they block. That is, if I call recv(0), it blocks
(until some data arrives).
I think that's wrong, but I don't want to argue that. I would like to
create a subclass of socket that fixes the problem. Ideally, something
like:
class new_socket(socket):
def recv( self, bufsize, flags=0 ):

I am trying to create a socket server which will listen for connections from

I am trying to get a webpage using a TcpSocket instead of a standard

Hi everyone
I've been coding a web server recently, and wanted to figure out how
to do it with mingw (code is below).
It works fine when you first load a page (GET request), but when you
submit (POST), it usually comes back with a "connection has been
reset" error. Sometimes it does work though.
Furthermore - when I inspect the request string, it's always like:

This may be the dumbest question of all time, but...
When I set the packet size, does it mean ALL packets are that size, no
matter what? Let's say the packet size is 8KB, and I send a 5 byte
"hello", will it cause 8KB of bandwidth, or 5 bytes (plus TCP/IP
packet header, as well, of course).
(Btw, I 'set' the packet size via Socket.BeginReceive(), in the "size"
field = "The number of bytes to receive." Which seems to imply the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
