You might question whether the same document should serve both the "cargo cult the examples" group and the "read the fine print" group. That's a valid question, but here my feeling is that the answer is "yes".
So did you read the discussion before posting? The sockets HOWTO *doesn't* serve both groups. Actually, I would argue that it serves neither of them.
How can you make such claims when several people have indicated that the howto *actually* helped them?
The point here is that the examples in that document are very poor (the only substantial example actually duplicates existing functionality - in a sub-optimal manner - without even mentioning the existence of said functionality), and the technical explanations are nearly non-existent. So I'll happy stand by my claims. The Python documentation isn't meant to host any potentially helpful document, however flawed. We have the Internet for that. Regards Antoine.
