Hmm that actually says that in Linux 2.6.0#-test2 sockets weren't supported. I can't tell the situation from the man page on the system I'm using right now. I may have misremembered but I thought I talked with someone a while back who was using aio in a high concurrency VOIP system and that it was beating other approaches. I don't know what kernels were involved etc. Anyway using this stuff in Python would be overkill. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
