socket programming question

[Kiran]

Hello All,
My question is, is it possible to make python do some other
processing while it is waiting for a socket to timeout?

thanks a lot!

sure, you have to use threads and/or use asynchronous socket

Yes.

You can either use threads or select.

Or you can use one of the async server frameworks like twisted.
