* 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.
