New submission from Bas Wijnen: In order to use ssl sockets asynchronously, it is important to use the pending() method, otherwise the internal buffer will be ignored, and select may block for new data while it's already waiting. See bug #16976 and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21663705/how-to-use-select-with-python-ssl-socket-buffering
Using pending() works fine, but is entirely undocumented. https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/ssl.html (and all other versions) don't even mention the existence of the method. I hope this can be changed; using an undocumented feature isn't nice, but in this case there is no other good solution. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 217884 nosy: docs@python, shevek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document ssl.pending() versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
