Problems With socket Under NT & PythonWin 2.0

[Darrell]

Copy the example to a .py file and run it from the command line or just
double click it.
The example blocks on conn.recv(1024), meaning that you current thread will
stop responding.

Of interest might be select or timeout socket.
Timeout socket is something you would need to download.
