Summary: gethostbyname() blocks when threaded
Initial Comment:
I know this is because it is simply a wrapper for the libc
gethostbyname, but it really, really hurts my app to have
it block like this. I am requesting that by any means
necessary, gethostbyname() not block when multiple
threads call it simultaneously. It seriously ruins the
ability to write effective network daemons in python, as it
can take a very, very long time to get through even a
small list of hostnames if one or a few of them need to
timeout to be resolved.
