New submission from Florian Ludwig <flor...@leijuna.de>:

The documentation states:

> In non-blocking mode, if a recv() call doesn’t find any data, [...], a error 
> exception is raised; [0]

Which is wrong. If no data is available recv() does not raise an exception but 
returns an empty string.

[0] http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html#socket.socket.setblocking
