Just an idea: put_result ==> dataput was_sent ==> sent dataput = connection.put_bytes(data) if dataput.sent(timeout=1.0): print "Data has been sent." else: print "Data hasn't been sent within one second." -- Laurent POINTAL - laurent.poin...@laposte.net 3 allée des Orangers - 91940 Les Ulis - France Tél. 01 69 29 06 59 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
