This would also let you wrap sys.stdout.write() in a nested event loop so as to allow print statements to still work while you use have it set to non-blocking mode, but I could see it argued that using print statements at all is wrong at that point. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
