anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com> added the comment: Thanks for pointing me to the list of possible network errors. This information is invaluable. Too bad it is easily lost among other details. I've seen similar errors in other modules that use socket module and it's no wonder now why people can't handle them correctly. I still feel that the information about error handling should be specified at the very beginning before references to wizard books.
In the meanwhile I made a script that probes remote service with proper timeout checks that can be included in examples chapter. It requires time module to calculate timeout shared between two exceptions. http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576655/ _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5293> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
