IOError 11 CGI module

[Anton Jansen]

Hi list,

I have troubles with some python scripts I use as cgi scripts with 
thttpd. At irregular intervals when a post is made an IOError is raised 
by the CGI module. My question is how and why does this happen?


The exception looks like this:

---
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "teamadmin.cgi", line 11, in ?
     iudex_cgi.makeform()
   File "/wing6/home/jury/iudex/nederlands/lib/iudex_cgi.py", line 24, 
in makeform
     form = _extractflat( cgi.FieldStorage() )
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/cgi.py", line 517, in __init__
     self.read_urlencoded()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/cgi.py", line 622, in read_urlencoded
     qs = self.fp.read(self.length)
IOError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable

The code:

File:iudex_cgi.py
---

import sys
import time
import traceback
import cgi
import MySQLdb
from iudex_tags import *

form = None

def _extractflat( fields ):
   form = {}
   for i in fields.value:
     if not form.has_key( i.name ):
       form[i.name] = []
     if i.filename:
       form[i.name].append( ( i.filename, i.value ) )
     else:
       form[i.name].append( i.value )
   return form

def makeform():
   global form
   form = _extractflat( cgi.FieldStorage() )

With kind regards,
