+1. I've been reading the postings on this discussion intently, as I have had
experience with the socket HOWTO when I was first learning about sockets. I
agree with the view that Martin v. Löwis expressed, that as a beginner I didn't
read too much into the text at first because I was more concerned with trying
out the examples and getting used to writing the code and such. I would also
say that, I wasn't too bothered if the guide never went into too much detail
about all the terms it was mentioning, it isn't after all a definitive guide on
sockets, but the terms can always be googled later if one so wished.
I wholeheartedly disagree with removing it, that would be a real shame and I
dislike the idea of moving it to the wiki (I cannot even remember ever visiting
the wiki). I may not be a Python Guru but I think my "n00bishness" helps in
this particular discussion and I would say I would have to agree to an
improvement over the suggested alternatives.
