[Python-Dev] Possible bug in socket.py: connection reset by peer

[Michal Kawalec]

Hello,
I am experiencing an odd infrequent bug in Python 2.7.3 with GIL
enabled. For some files pushed over TCP socket I get 'connection reset
by peer' and clients only receive a randomly long part of the file.

This situation occurs only in ~0.1% of cases but if it happens for a
given file it keeps on always occuring for that file. The server host is
2-cored Linux 3.8.1 on a VMware VM.

The problem is mitigated by adding time.sleep(0.001) just before the
portion of data is being pushed though the socket. It also seems to be
known for a long time [1].

So my question is - is it something that I can expect to be fixed in the
future Python releases?


Michal
