>>>> there's a socket.sendall(), so why no socket.recvall()? BTW socket.sendall() doesn't actually work for large amounts of data on Windows 2000 and probably other versions of Windows as well. Eg if you supply a 1MB buffer then you get an exception based on some internal Windows error code. I haven't experimented on Unix yet to see if it has the same issue.
The workaround is to write a wrapper that really does send everything. Roger -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
