I second this (or third or whatever if my post is slow). It is tremendously useful to start something and to be told it has timed out by a call, rather than to have to unblock the i/o yourself and to "busy-loop" to see if its successful. And from what I can see the select functionality is not much different from busy looping... - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
