Can't reconnect with asyncore.

[Alexander Semenov]

Hi,

Here is my code (WinXP, python22):

import socket, asyncore, asynchat

class strange_client(asynchat.async_chat):
    def __init__(self):
        asynchat.async_chat.__init__(self)
        self.create_socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.connect(('192.168.32.30', 110))
        self.push('USER sav\n')
        self.set_terminator('\r\n')
        self._buff = []

    def collect_incoming_data(self, data):
        self._buff.append(data)

    def found_terminator(self):
        print self._buff
        self._buff = []
        self.push('USER sav\n')

    def handle_close(self):
        self.close()
        print 'Reconnecting...'
        strange_client()

strange_client()
asyncore.loop()

I'm trying to reach persistent client connection with asyncore,
which can autorestore itself on errors. When I run this code I see

C:\wrk\wrk>clitest.py
warning: unhandled connect event
['+OK POP3 server ready ]
['+OK please send PASS command']
...
['+OK please send PASS command']

It's ok. Now I break connection (dialup in my case) to server.

...
['+OK please send PASS command']
Reconnecting...

...and program is stuck. I have no success in waking it at all.
Restoring dialup connection has no effect. Why so? How can
I done this with asyncore? My program will be used on linux,
maybe this problem disappered there?
