[Tutor] Low level socket and threading code in python in HUGE websites -

[anil maran]

What kind of low-level socket and threading code is necessary for a db 
  intensive site such as yahoo. How do we use it from python? does 
  anyone  have experience using it

 >From moving to python by the founders of reddit 
 

Because of the low-level socket and threading code we had to write, 
 reddit would not run on my Mac, and I was always tethered to our 
 FreeBSD development server. Not being able to program offline is a 
 pain. 
 
I would imagine that they aren't just using a database. 
 most of the "low level socket stuff" I've seen is about setting   
 timeouts and doing Async IO.
