    <p>I am new to Python and currently have to write a python socket to be run as a script that communicates with a device over TCP/IP (a weather station).<br> The device acts as the Server Side (listening over IP:PORT, accepting connection, receiving request, transferring data).<br> I only need to send one message, receive the answer and then peacefully and nicely shutdown and close the socket. </p> <pre><code>try: comSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) except socket.error, msg: sys.stderr.write("[ERROR] %s\n" % msg[1]) sys.exit(1) try: comSocket.connect(('')) except socket.error, msg: sys.stderr.write("[ERROR] %s\n" % msg[1]) sys.exit(2) comSocket.send('\r') comSocket.recv(128) comSocket.send('\r') comSocket.recv(128) comSocket.send('\r\r') comSocket.recv(128) comSocket.send('1I\r\r3I\r\r4I\r\r13I\r\r5I\r\r8I\r\r7I\r\r9I\r\r') rawData = comSocket.recv(512) comSocket.shutdown(1) comSocket.close() </code></pre> <p><strong>The problem I'm having is:</strong><br> The communication channel is unreliable, the device is slow. So, sometimes the device response with message of length 0 (just an ACK), the my code will freeze and wait for response forever.<br> This piece of code contains the portion that involves SOCKET, the whole code will be run under CRON so freezing is not a desirable behavior. </p> <p><strong>My question is:</strong><br> What would be the best way in Python to handle that behavior, so that the code doesn't freeze and wait forever but will attempt to move on to the next send (or such).</p>

    1. COYou should have a look at the [Twisted](http://twistedmatrix.com/) library for Python. It is a framework for asynchronous networking that would make this much easier.

    2. COWhile using the Twisted library may work, a whole library for one message seems a bit overkill. Perhaps you need to have CRON open a subprocess with your socket communication going on in a separate thread. That way you'll avoid the blocking issue.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
