That's what I thought at first too. But the user's sockets were set to blocking. > spinning around the send call trying to resend the data isn't going to > improve things, you should probably wait a little before retrying The user switched to using send() and adding a short delay before retrying the send solved the problem. In fact, I think it's a little silly that OS X raises the error rather than just saying that 0 bytes were sent (which is what I suppose that other OSes do). But I think it's also not ideal that Python's socket.sendall() can't be used with confidence under OS X because it can fail under pretty normal circumstances. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8493> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
