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 715b861d94 Clarify the interaction between timeout/non-blocking mode, makefile
and fromfd.

Neal Norwitz 62a7f63a24 Fix typo 2002-06-07 12:36:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fc9823b1a9 Clarify the interaction between blocking and timeouts. Explain that
fromfd() assumes a blocking non-timeout socket.
2002-06-07 03:39:21 +00:00
Neal Norwitz bdbd84fdac Add version info, and fix another typo and wording spotted by /F. I think this is what he meant. :-) 2002-06-06 22:24:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a06fb0605 Fix typo spotted by Fredrik Lundh. 2002-06-06 22:19:20 +00:00
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. :-)
2002-06-06 21:51:01 +00:00
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.
2001-12-21 17:45:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 39368c1053 Added documentation of the sendall() method, and a note to the send() method
that it does not guarantee that all data is sent.
This closes SF patch #474307.
2001-12-05 05:25:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 0aa811c527 Use the \note and \warning macros where appropriate. 2001-10-20 04:24:09 +00:00
Fred Drake aad8bb5d7a When stating that some parameters to makefile() are similar to the open()
parameters, given a hyperlink to the right part of the documentation to
make it easier to look those up.  Also, refer to the file() function/
constructor instead of open() now that that is where the actual docs for
those parameters live.
This closes SF bug #472004.
2001-10-19 17:22:29 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton cb43c085e2 Document that keyfile and certfile are now optional.
XXX Forgot to mention this in the last socketmodule.c checkin.
2001-10-11 16:17:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 3fc291a1d7 Fix some markup errors. 2001-09-27 04:17:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 9081bb1d21 Added documentation for the SSL interface, contributed by Gerhard Häring.
This closes SF patch #461337.

Martin v. Löwis c9908c4f5c Document IPv6 changes. Contributed by itojun. 2001-08-04 22:22:45 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 8321026ff4 SourceForge patch #103140, checked in at fdrake's invitation. Minor fixes and
additions to library docs.#
2001-01-10 19:34:52 +00:00
Fred Drake ef52f601ed Revise the examples not to use the "from socket import *", and adjust
one comment in the example for clarity.
2000-10-10 20:36:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 8b2e8f846c Added a \versionadded statement to the getfqdn() description. 2000-09-06 02:22:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 5772c86816 Document socket.getfqdn(). 2000-08-16 14:21:42 +00:00
Thomas Wouters caa658d047 Apply SF patch #101151, by Peter S-K, which fixes smtplib's passing of the
'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.
2000-08-15 19:30:36 +00:00
Fred Drake aa7524cf1f Clean up markup to be more like recommended practice; only small changes
needed.
2000-07-06 18:37:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 9a748aa832 Say "manual page", not "man page", when referring to the Unix manual. 2000-06-30 04:21:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3d69c0e440 Someone found the examples of poor practice on socket addresses!
Spotted by Greg Kochanski <gpk@bell-labs.com>.
2000-05-03 19:40:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 7d68690d8d Added notes about the eventual disappearance of two-parameter bind(),
connect(), and connect_ex().

I didn't make these deprecation notices since it was never a
documented feature.
2000-04-04 17:48:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 38e5d27cae Merged changes from the 1.5.2p2 release.
(Very rough.)
2000-04-03 20:13:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 37f1574f2e Use \citetitle and \programopt as appropriate. 1999-11-10 16:21:37 +00:00
Fred Drake e6fb1c4bd3 Added documentation for inet_aton() and inet_ntoa(), from Ben
Gertzfield <che@debian.org> (with minor changes).

(Should have been here instead of in the branch in the first place,
since these weren't in for the 1.5.2 release.)
1999-09-16 15:50:00 +00:00
Fred Drake a94f6762bc Add index entry "I/O control, buffering" for makefile(). 1999-08-05 13:41:04 +00:00
Fred Drake b0bc7f2d6c Updated connect_ex() documentation based on comments in the newgroup
(M.-A. Lemburg and GvR).

Fix up a few synopses.

Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a0351cf85 Remove all uses of \sectcode; we can now use logical markup everywhere. 1998-04-04 07:23:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f1c4720b5 Use {methoddesc} as appropriate. 1998-04-03 07:04:45 +00:00
Fred Drake cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain,
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.

Fred Drake d883ca1dcb Logical markup. 1998-03-10 05:20:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8e1e68de49 Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error. 1998-02-06 15:18:25 +00:00

"{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}"

	      Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
	      Leaving it for now.

Guido van Rossum eefcba61f4 Fix a little mess (Likecode{...} -> Like \code{...}) in recently added text. 1997-12-09 19:47:24 +00:00
Fred Drake c5aec05967 Separated the definitions of ntohs(), ntohl(), htons(), htonl(). Separate
descriptions really make things look a bit better, and should improve the
ability to re-purpose the content.
1997-12-08 21:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f7790c608d Document s.connect_ex(), which does not raise an exception on error. 1997-11-18 15:29:20 +00:00

* \bcode, \ecode added everywhere
	* \label{module-foo} added everywhere
	* A few \seealso sections added.
	* Indentation fixed inside verbatim in lib*tex files
