[Python-Dev] ssl module integration with asyncore (original) (raw)

No, the SSL code should NOT be allowed to block anything in any case, even though the handshake is still not completed, in which case just retry it at a later time.

That's why there's "do_handshake_on_connect" in the first place. I'm just talking about what the SSL module should do if you don't use it when you call wrap_socket(). If you do use it, driving the handshake to completion is up to your code, and you can use select, poll, and/or handle_read_event() or handle_write_event() as you see fit.

I think we're talking past each other here. Using asyncore (as you know) is not simple; I believe I've outlined how to use it successfully and properly with the SSL module.
