I've read more about sockets and now, I have a better understanding of them. However, I still have a few SocketServer module questions:
When used with SocketServer how exactly does socket.setdefaulttimeout() work? Does it timeout the initial connect request to the socket server or does it timeout the session between the connecting client socket and the client socket the server generated to handle the incoming request? Also, since the *only* thing a 'socket server' does is to create 'client sockets' to handle requests, how do I use socket object features on these generated clients to manage and/or monitor them? The SocketServer module is great, but it seems to hide too many details of what it's up to! Thanks, rbt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
