[Python-Dev] non-blocking sockets and sendall (original) (raw)

I'm having issues with using socket.sendall() and non-blocking sockets in python 2.3a1. When sending large data chunks I receive a socket.error #11 'Resource temporarily unavailable' in the middle of the method. I believe this is due to a missing select call in the send loop.

My question is whether or not sendall() is supported by socket objects in non-blocking mode? If not, then perhaps this should be noted in the documentation... if so, then i'll submit a bug report on the python sourceforge site.

I think using non-blocking sockets and using sendall are incompatible. So yes, a documentation patch would be appropriate.

Thanks for pointing this out!
