Socket Help

[Lindstrom Greg - glinds]

Hello-

I have a python routine (Python 2.2.3 on Windows 2000 "Professional") using
a socket connection.  Problem is, the backend service I'm connecting to will
hang every so often and the socket will simply wait for a response which
will never come.  I'm thinking of putting in a routine to check the socket's
status, which now brings in threading.  Before I go to the trouble I thought
I'd ask if there is a simple way to verify my socket is still communicating.
It's running about 200 transactions per second...if I put in the threaded
timer I'd have it take a look every few seconds to see if the
"TotalRecordsProcessed" counter has been incremented.

 

Your constructive thoughts are requested.

 

Thanks!
