Antoine Pitrou added the comment: For the record, SSLSocket.pending() was added in b59825d9db8f with the commit message "get SSL support to work again". It isn't used anywhere in the stdlib. It isn't used by asyncio, Tornado or Twisted. It isn't necessary to write non-blocking SSL applications, and it can actually lead to misunderstandings as some messages on this issue show.
I'd rather deprecate the method than start documentating it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
