Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: jtdeng (jtdeng) >Assigned to: Vinay Sajip (vsajip) Summary: logging.handlers.SocketHandler.makeSocket() blocks app Initial Comment: Python Version: =============== Any Python Version OS Platform: ============ Debian Linux 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 12:46:35 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux Windows XP SP2 Problem: ======== Member function makeSocket() of logging.handlers.SocketHandler creates a socket with no default timeout, and this may block the app on Linux. def makeSocket(self): """ A factory method which allows subclasses to define the precise type of socket they want. """ s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((self.host, self.port)) return s if the log receiver on the destination host is not running, the log sender will block the app on socket.connect(), but on windows, socket.connect() will return immediately. So I propose to provide a default timeout value for makeSocket() like below: def makeSocket(self, timeout=1): """ A factory method which allows subclasses to define the precise type of socket they want. """ s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.settimeout(timeout) s.connect((self.host, self.port)) return s ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2007-04-08 22:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Originator: NO Vinay, could you take a look? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1695948&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
