The socket operation could not complete without blocking

[Achim Domma]

Hi,

calling urllib2.urlopen (python2.3) I randomly the error message:

"The socket operation could not complete without blocking"

Here is the traceback:

  File "C:\crawler\Rules\Tools\__init__.py", line 23, in __init__
    self.page = urllib2.urlopen(url)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\urllib2.py", line 136, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\urllib2.py", line 330, in open
    '_open', req)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\urllib2.py", line 309, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\urllib2.py", line 824, in http_open
    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTP, req)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\urllib2.py", line 813, in do_open
    code, msg, hdrs = h.getreply()
  File "C:\Python23\lib\httplib.py", line 1019, in getreply
    response = self._conn.getresponse()
  File "C:\Python23\lib\httplib.py", line 770, in getresponse
    response.begin()
  File "C:\Python23\lib\httplib.py", line 268, in begin
    version, status, reason = self._read_status()
  File "C:\Python23\lib\httplib.py", line 230, in _read_status
    line = self.fp.readline()
  File "C:\Python23\lib\socket.py", line 310, in readline
    data = recv(1)
error: (10035, 'The socket operation could not complete without blocking')

I have change the sockettimeout like this:

import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(10)

Just in case it makes a difference. Can somebody tell me what my problem is?
