I also got very slow responses using Python's HTTP server library. I found that changing the address_string(self) method in BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler to return self.client_address[0] instead of doing a hostname lookup cured the problem. The doc string says the method is only used for logging, and so far I've experienced no ill side effects. -- Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
