telnetlib thread-safe?

Jerry

Can anyone tell me if the telnetlib module is thread-safe? I've done
some looking, but don't know, and I don't know how to tell from reading
the module code.

I would like to write a program that spawns ~10 threads. Each thread
would get a host to connect to from a Queue object and run then do it's
thing (i.e. connecting to the host, running some commands, returning
back a success or fail based on the results).

I just want to make sure that telnetlib is safe for this.

Usually, OO-style libs that don't share state between objects are pretty
safe - and I'd presume that this holds for telnetlib, too.

There is of course no way except looking into the source to _know_ that
for sure. So - try it out.

as long as each thread uses it's own Telnet instance, that should be no
problem at all (as far as I can tell).

telnetlib close not closing sockets

I'm rather new to python but a long time programmer. I think I've covered my bases so I hope this isn't somthing obvious. I'm running ActiveState PythonWin 2.3.2 (#49, Nov 13 2003, 10:34:54) on win32. I have several processes that are polling a telnet server on a regular basis. I'm using telnetlib for this. When I issue the .close method the connection is not closed (no TCP FIN is sent to the server).

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

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,...
