New submission from John J Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The documentation for the new timeout support in 2.6 states that "If the optional timeout parameter is given, connection attempts will timeout after that many seconds". In fact, other non-blocking. The only operation that might block for longer than the requested timeout is the getaddrinfo() in socket.create_connection().
There may be similar inaccuracies in the docs of other modules to which timeout support was added. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 64295 nosy: georg.brandl, jjlee severity: normal status: open title: inaccuracy in httplib timeout documentation versions: Python 2.6 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2452> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
