Well, in fact what I meant is: I won't to check wether established connection is still active. I have a reading thread and when I send 'quit' command to a server it (guess what:)) disconnects. So I get plenty of unwanted output, I want to avoid this. So the problem is how can I inform my reader thread it is not longer wanted when _server_ disconnects me? To my defense: repetition is mother of science (in case you did answer and I did not get it first time). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
