Georg Brandl 4e9165d2dd Fix a lot of markup and meta-information glitches. 2007-04-01 21:29:15 +00:00
Georg Brandl f03facfe90 Some nits. 2007-03-26 20:28:28 +00:00
Facundo Batista 07c78be0b4 Added a 'create_connect()' function to socket.py, which creates a
connection with an optional timeout, and modified httplib.py to
use this function in HTTPConnection. Applies patch 1676823.
2007-03-23 18:54:07 +00:00
Facundo Batista 3ff9e55890 Minor clarification, saying that blocking means no timeout (from bug #882297) 2007-03-21 19:41:24 +00:00
Georg Brandl 1d4b834574 Patch #1682878: the new socket methods are recv_into and recvfrom_into, not *_buf. 2007-03-18 08:25:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2799aab86d Doc patch matching r53434 (htonl etc. now always take/return positive ints). 2007-01-15 00:02:35 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 64df22bdb5 [Bug #1613651] Document socket.recv_into, socket.recvfrom_into
Also, the text for recvfrom told you to read recv() for an explanation of the
'flags' argument, but recv() just pointed you at the man page.  Copied the
man-page text to recvfrom(), recvfrom_into, recv_into to avoid the pointless
redirection.

I don't have LaTeX on this machine; hope my markup is OK.

Brett Cannon 01668a1ab9 Fix test for socket.getfqdn() to also include the name returned by
socket.gethostname() in the check for a valid return.

Also clarified docs (official and docstring) that the value from gethostname()
is returned if gethostbyaddr() doesn't do the job.

2004-01-27 18:21:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5a92175fbc After hearing from someone who gave up on timeout sockets due to a
mistake in his code, I'm adding a note explaining that you should call
settimeout() before connect().

Guido van Rossum b016752d8b Fix a copy-paste error: the paragraph about inet_ntop's use was copied
literally from inet_pton.

Neal Norwitz 6eb502f267 Add versionadded for has_ipv6 attribute 2003-04-25 14:53:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 47dfa4a89a Patch by Jp Calderone:
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
  for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
  See SF patch #658327.

This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).

Skip Montanaro 2a403e8a7e add descriptions of {get,set}defaulttimeout. 2003-03-20 17:58:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 11ba094957 Major overhaul of timeout sockets:
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
  setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).

- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
  report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
  an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).

- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
  so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).

- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
  errors.  This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
  next.  It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
  retrying a connect does; I need help with this.

- Get rid of the retry logic in accept().  I don't think it was needed
  at all.  But I may be wrong.

Guido van Rossum fc9823b1a9 Clarify the interaction between blocking and timeouts. Explain that
fromfd() assumes a blocking non-timeout socket.

Fred Drake 6c6d662760 Fix some markup errors and adjust wording slightly. 2002-06-06 21:57:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum be946bfea7 SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix.
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.

I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this.  Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.

No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)

Fred Drake 39960f6ec9 Fix the erroneous availability annotation for s.makefile() from the last
checkin (my fault!).
Wrap some long lines and fix some markup inconsistencies.
2001-12-22 19:07:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 87fa3aa12c Add notes that fromfd() and s.makefile() are Unix-specific.
This fixes SF bug #495896.

Fix up various markup consistency & style guide conformance nits.
