And he might not have to do either, depending on what his situation really is. For example, if his socket is always going to be connected (in the case of a TCP socket) I expect checking something about the peer would be a quick way to tell the difference, since UDP sockets don't shouldn't have peers. (I'm assuming, not having tested... but I think there are probably such approaches that don't involve either _sock or repr(). Let's see what the OP reveals.) -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
