I have tested a socket client script on two versions of RedHat/Python and the later version is slow to execute the initial recv(). In each test the client script was identical and the server end was the same Windows XML-ODBC service. The code and strace below shows an initial recv taking 0.09 secs and 4.5 secs respectively. The tests are repeatable with similar results each time. Should I expect this kind of effect as software evolves or is there a solution? Could it be internetwork latency as the clients tests were run on hosts in different locations? ------------- import socket host = "xx.xx.xx.xx" port = xxxx DSN = "xxxx;UID=xxxx;" length = 1024 Request = '''xxxxxxx''' socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) socket.connect((host,port)) XML = '' EOM = '</Result>' bytecount = socket.send(Request) while XML[-10:-1] != EOM: XML += socket.recv(length) socket.close() ------------------------------------------------------ strace results on client script run from command line: 1.

Logged In: YES user_id=4771 You should try to run the script on two different versions of Python from the same machine. As far as we can tell, your results seem to hint at a firewall or some network condition is stalling the connection from the second location, rather than Python arbitrarily waiting for 4.5 seconds -- which is a rather long time that would have been reported long ago if it really was caused by the Python interpreter only. |

Logged In: YES user_id=1342030 This was caused by the xml-odbc server end. It was configured to do reverse dns lookups. Turning them off cured the problem. Lookups were obviously not efficient on moving to the new network. As this is nothing to do with Python, RedHat etc. perhaps this bug should be deleted as it will not be much use to anyone. |
