[Python-Dev] Fixing send() (original) (raw)

The bonehead who uses sendall with a non-blocking socket will, of course, get an EWOULDBLOCK (or platform equivalent) on an oversize send. Maybe EWOULDBLOCK should get turned into ButtHeadProgrammerError("Don't use sendall with a non-blocking socket")?

I think natural selection will take care of this breed. :-)

[I agree that this is the best way to fix the std lib, and that it is very important that it be fixed.]

Thanks!
