I'm using SocketServer to implement a local server that serves comet

How do I increase the maximum number of open connections? Currently it is
limited to about 8 I think. More than that and it seems to block on opening
more connections until one of the other connections releases.
You need to change request_queue_size in your subclass, supposing you
are directly or indirectly using a tcp server.
The default is 5, rather low. The first attempt you can do is using
the socket.SOMAXCONN value, but depending on your system you can set a
number much higher than that one given by socket.SOMAXCONN.
Also be aware that "request_queue_size" determines the max. number of
incoming connections that are waiting in a queue to be accepted by the
server. After the server calls accept() on the server socket, the
connection is removed from the queue and a new client socket is created.
The actual communication is done through the client socket(s). The
number of open client sockets is independent of the request queue size.
In other words, if you accept incoming connections instantly and then
process clients in parallel, then probably you do not need to increase
the queue size. (Maybe you already knew that?)
Best,
