Hello,

I have a strange behaviour when trying to connect to an smtp server
(or any external url for that matter using urrlib).
My host uses Red Hat  4.1.2-14 with Python 2.4.3
Running django under FastCGI

Test code is very simple
import smtplib
smtp = smtplib.SMTP()
smtp.connect('smtp.mydomain.com', 25)

It gives me the error  "unable to select on socket" from socket.py I
have tried all possible ports and servers and they work from my local
machine so no error there.

Worth noting is that
import urllib
urllib.openurl("http://www.google.com/";)
gives the same error

I know this sounds like a Python issue and not a django issue but the
thing is that it works perfectly when
running Python from a shell (via SSH).

Does anyone have any idea what can cause this? I think it is a linux/
fcgi security issue but I do not know Linux well and my web host
claims that there is something wrong with my code after running out of
options.
