Hopefully it doesn't use select if no timeout is set...

I don't really think the ability to "create magic stackless mixin classes" should be a driving principle for the stdlib. I would suggest using a proper non-blocking framework such as Twisted. > So, my first question is: Why not simply rely on the already built-in timeout > support in the socket module? In case you didn't notice, the built-in timeout support also uses select(). Regards Antoine.
