New submission from Charles-François Natali: Having to pass an explicit backlog value to listen() is a pain: most people don't know which value to pass, and often end up using a value too small which can lead to connections being rejected. For example, if you search throughout the standard library, you'll see many different hard-coded values.
The patch attached uses a default value of SOMAXCONN for socket.listen(): it should give a good default behavior (that's what golang does for example: in fact they go even further by checking the runtime value from net.core.somaxconn). A second step would be to update the codebase to remove explicit backlogs (unless specific case). ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: socket_listen.diff keywords: patch messages: 218121 nosy: haypo, neologix, pitrou, sbt priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: add default backlog to socket.listen() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35186/socket_listen.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21455> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
