Re: [Python-Dev] mysterious hangs in socket code

One possibility is that the Linux getaddrinfo() is thread-safe, but only by way of a lock that only allows one request to be outstanding at a time.

The next step should be to get the getaddrinfo() source code from glibc and see what it does. It's open source, hey. :-) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
