That's correct. And the client initiates the connection. At the moment, I use one thread per connection, and don't really want to spend the time to figure out how to do it singlethreadedly. : In this case, I would put running jobs together with the respective : socket in a "running queue". If you detect a broken connection, put that : job into the "todo" queue again. Probably not a queue. Maybe a dictionary. After all I need to look up the job later. : Of course, why not? It might depend on some settings you set (keepalive : etc.); but generally you should get an exception when trying a : communication over a disconnected connection (over a disconnection? ;-)) There are several challenges there and more than one solution. One concern of mine, which is not necessarily justified, is that I do not quite know if I know of all the possible error cases. I suppose your solution works if I run a relatively short timeout on the server and send regular ping messages from the client. -- :-- Hans Georg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
