Fork a SocketServer on NT

[Werner Schiendl]

Hi,

I think the threading module provides basic and portable threading.
See the class Thread in there.

if you have a function to handle the connection something like (untested)

def yourHandlerFunction(handlersock, addr):
    pass

import threading
threading.Thread(target=yourHandlerFunction, args=(handlersock,
addr)).start()

should get you started.
