[bug report]

Details: a quick grep of the standard python library (below) shows that there is lots of unchecked use of the send() function. [Guido] I just noticed this. Is this true? Shouldn't we change send() to raise an error instead of returning a small number? (The number of bytes written can be an attribute of the exception.)

No way! You'd break 90% of my sockets code! People who don't want to code proper sends / recvs can use that sissy makefile junk.
