Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Charles (melicertes) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: poplib.POP3_SSL() class incompatible with socket.timeout Initial Comment: If you call socket.setdefaulttimeout() to enable timeout mode, then create a POP3-over-SSL connection by instantiating a poplib.POP3_SSL() object, the resulting connection can hang because the underlying socket.ssl() object doesn't work when timeouts are enabled. If, after creating the POP3_SSL object, you call object.conn.sock.setblocking(1), the hangs will not happen. This is exactly the same bug as happened with IMAP SSL connections, as I reported in bug #977680. The Python documentation still does not mention that socket SSL support is not compatible with socket timeout support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1353269&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
