[Python-Dev] [noreply@sourceforge.net: [ python-Bugs-417845 ] Python 2.1: SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn]

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

hi there,

i thought it best to bring this to someone's attention.

the forkingmixin code keeps track of its children, plus
because it forks, there's no close_requests() to interfere
with the operation of the child etc. etc.

now, for some marginally bizarre reason, adding an
extra base class - BaseServer - has, i believe (without
proof, just a hunch), caused a bug in ThreadingMixIn to be
more likely to occur.

now, i wrote BaseServer in order to be able to overload
this for a server that reads from a SQL server table
and performs actions based on what it reads from there
(the name of a host and the name of a python script to
action on the host, from the database :) :)

... but i don't do threading.  python is my first
actual exposure to thread programming.  does anyone
have enough experience with threads to write something
in less lines and less time than this message?

all best,

luke

Initial Comment:
SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn does not work properly
since it tries to close the socket of a request two
times.
