Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment: You can't use a connect() call for the purpose of waiting for your network to be up. This has nothing to do with Python. This is how all network APIs work regardless of OS and language.
The "timeout" is due to the network stack being unable to find the remote host (read up on ARP) and eventually returning an error. You need to deal with that in your own code. ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5293> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
