All,
With Python 2.5 SocketServer features the shutdown method that can be
called from another thread to stop the serve_forever loop.
However;
When the shutdown method is called before serve_forever, shutdown will
never return.
This can happen when a server is stopped during startup.
In other words, the following program shouldn't hang but it does;
import SocketServer
server = SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer(("127.0.0.1", 12345),
SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler)
server.shutdown()
What to do?
