Hi all, For asyncio_redis, tumb1er posted an issue that create_connection could block forever.
First he proposed to wrap create_connection into wait_for with a timeout=1 parameter, but that would leave the file descriptor open that was created in BaseEventLoop.create_connection(). Therefore he proposes to create the socket ourself, using sock_connect , and if that fails due to a timeout, call sock.close manually. You can find the issue here: https://github.com/jonathanslenders/asyncio-redis/issues/29 I'm not sure whether I understand this correctly. How is it possible that loop.create_connection blocks? Doesn't it just fail after a while if the host is not reachable? How are other libraries handling this? I don't like to copy paste much of the asyncio code to solve this issue, especially because it's something not directly related to asyncio_redis, but something that would apply to other libraries as well. Jonathan.
