Hi, guys. As a regular user of python, I am often annoyed by the fact that the official python docementation is too short and too simple to satisfy my requirement.
While working with socket, I want to know every detail about every API. I can easilly achieve that by reading man page if the language is C. But It seems that the Python story is different. For the interface recv(), all I got is only three sentences. " Receive data from the socket. The return value is a string representing the data received. The maximum amount of data to be received at once is specified by bufsize. " http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html#socket.socket.recv What if the call fail? What if the peer close the socket? What is the difference between blocking and non-blocking socket? How could I get the errno or exception? All the answers are "No comment". I hate this documentation! guys, where could I turn to for help? Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
