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
varible to determine if it should die or call socket.accept again.
Any advice on this stuff would be greatly appreciated.
My temporary solution is to poll (via select.select) the listening socket
for input before socket.accept is called. I don't like this method because
it eats up CPU time.
Thanks for the help.

If you call select with a short timeout eg:
select.select( [], [], [], 2.0 )
it uses almost no CPU.
Thanks for the help.

The code below fails. Socket.accept blocks inside the thread and doesn't
let go, even after the socket was closed. From the error presented, the
socket never actually closes.
I realize that the below is a basic Java idiom but how do you do the
same thing in Python?
import unittest
import socket
import threading

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...

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.

Hi,
I am doing a small project using socket server and thread in python.
This is first time for me to use socket and thread things.
Here is my case. I have 20 socket clients. Each client send a set
of sensor data per second to a socket server. The socket server will
do two things: 1. write data into a file via bsddb; 2. forward the data
to a GUI written in wxpython.
I am thinking the code should work as follow (not sure it is
feasible)...

Hi Folks,
I'm having some issues with an small socket based server I'm writing,
and I was hoping I could get some help.
My code (attached below) us supposed to read an HTTP Post message
coming from a power meter, parse it, and return a proper HTTP 200 Ok
message. The problem is that the socket fails to send the entire
message as one message, creating a fragmented message which the power
meter then fails to read and accept.

No - it's just what I said. create_socket creates one socket and passes
it to read_socket and write_socket. read_socket calls connect on the
socket it is passed. write_socket calls accept on the socket it is passed.
So a single socket has connect and accept called on it. Now, main does
call create_socket twice, so this does happen to two sockets, but it's...

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,...
