SocketServer.py on win32

[Daniel Greenblatt]

Has anyone used the SocketServer.py module successfully on windows?

I don't know if I'm doing something terribly wrong, here but I use a
SocketServer in my app, running it in a seperate thread, and get very
finnicky behavior on my windows XP machine (while the code runs fine
on other *nix platforms). Sometimes my app freezes as soon as the
socketserver thread is started, other times it is freezes once it
receives a connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I.e. is
it my code, or just one of those windows things? If it is a win.
thing, are there any reasonable workarounds?

Thanks in advance,
Dan Greenblatt

I have been caught out under Windows running Python tasks interactively.
If you click in the command shell window (ie the title line says Select...)
then your python application will hang awaiting keyboard input!

Hmmm. This socketserver is actually a small part of a much bigger
python app, running in a seperate thread. I haven't experimented with
running it interactively.

Thanks,

Possibly it would help to narrow the problem down a little. Have you
tried connecting via a TCP proxy server? I have tried atcp2log and
although it is a bit quirky it did help:

There is also TCPWatch although I have not had the need to try it yet:
