Actually this isn't true; handle_close() is also called in send(): http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/eb2991f7cdc8/Lib/asyncore.py#l364 I'd say your patch can be useful only in case the dispatcher subclass doesn't send() neither recv() any data, in which case the connection is supposed to remain open forever. On one hand this might be a good thing, on the other hand I'm not sure what the repercussions might be in the existing code base out there. Probably none, but... Perhaps you could provide more info about why you needed to do this in the first place. Did you encounter a specific use case requiring this patch in order to work? If so, please paste the code where you subclassed asyncore.dispatcher. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13311> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
