I want to receive 4 bytes from a connected socket, I code like this: data = sock.recv(4)
There is a problem with above code. The recv method will not block until it get all 4 bytes. So I use the second param of recv method like this data = sock.recv(4, socket.MSG_WAITALL) This works fine on linux with python 2.5, while on windows, the interpreter tells me 'AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'MSG_WAITALL''. How can I work this out, or there is another way to get certain bytes from a socket and block if it hasn't got enough bytes? :)
