I'm currently using socketserver to build a simple XMLSocket (an XML
based protocol used for communication between flash and the outside
world) server. I've got flash establishing a connection, sending a
request and my python server responding. However at this point
socketserver terminates the connection. Which is bad, since i need a
persistent connection so i can push data from the server to the client
without the overhead of polling.
If you don't want the connection to close, then don't let the request
complete. SocketServer implements logic for single request/response
per connection. You can change this by making your requests take a
really long time (until you're done with the connection) or you can
override the behavior which closes the connection after a response.
Or you could use the socket module, on which the SocketServer module is
based. Or you could use Twisted, another higher-level package built on
the socket module (mostly). Actually, I recommend Twisted, since it will
mostly isolate you from boring low-level details and let you implement
whatever high-level behavior you're after (I know that a bunch of people
have used it to communicate with Flash, for example).
