* Major overhaul of timeout sockets:Guido van Rossum2002-06-131-21/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.

* Add version info, and fix another typo and wording spotted by /F. I think ↵Neal Norwitz2002-06-061-2/+4

* SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix.Guido van Rossum2002-06-061-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. :-)
* Fix the erroneous availability annotation for s.makefile() from the lastFred Drake2001-12-221-5/+7

* Add notes that fromfd() and s.makefile() are Unix-specific.Fred Drake2001-12-211-12/+14
| | | | | | This fixes SF bug #495896. Fix up various markup consistency & style guide conformance nits.
* Added documentation of the sendall() method, and a note to the send() methodFred Drake2001-12-051-0/+13

* When stating that some parameters to makefile() are similar to the open()Fred Drake2001-10-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | 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.
* Document that keyfile and certfile are now optional.Jeremy Hylton2001-10-111-1/+1
