hi; i have the following piece of code: ============= s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM) s.bind(("",port)) s.sendto(data,(MY_GW,port)) data = s.recvfrom(1024) ============
data contains some instructions which i am sending to MY_GW. If the reply arrives from the MY_GW quickly then things fine, otherwise the program is going to freeze waiting for the reply. I want to do the following: 1- Be able to impose a timeout after which i want to stop executing the s.recvfrom statement. rgds; m.smadi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
