lo there,
i have a simple app that connects to a socket to get info from a server
i looks like this
serverhost = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
serverport = 9520
aeris_sockobj = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
aeris_sockobj.connect((serverhost,serverport))
while 1:
do this or that with socket,
send and receive info.
yadda yadda yadda
works well, but sometimes the server drops the connection.
so, what i need is something that will let me know if the connection
is still ok, if not will reconnect.
what i thought, since it only lets you connect on a certain port one at
a time,
that i could use a try-except to connect every time, if it could not
connect (because it already is) then i would just continue on. But if
it is not connected, it would reconnect.
that is what brings me here. Seems like it would work, but is there a
better way ? this kinda seems like a dirty hack.
any opinions ?
thanks.
