New submission from John J Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The new timeout support in 2.6 makes use of new function socket.create_connection(). socket.create_connection() provides no way to disable timeouts, other than by relying on socket.getdefaulttimeout() returning None. This is unfortunate, because it was the purpose of the new timeout support to allow control of timeouts without reliance on global state.
setdefaultsocket.create_connection() should always call sock.settimeout() with the timeout passed to create_connection(), unless a special non-None value is passed indicating that the global default is to be used. Specific modules may then use that special non-None value where required, to preserve backwards-compatibility. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 64293 nosy: jjlee severity: normal status: open title: No way to disable socket timeouts in httplib, etc. versions: Python 2.6 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2451> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
