[Socket] Frozen application

[jondavisofkorn]

Hello I have a problem with my application..now I try to explain..
I have a class method that use "socket" from library socket..

sock_im=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
sock_im.connect((ip, port))
f_im=sock_im.makefile("rb")

after that it loops in listening with:

while 1:
	try:
		risp=f_im.readline()
	except:
		#error
		f_im.close()

In this method there isn't recursion and I use other external library:
pykeylock
msys
appswitch
appuifw2

Now my problem is that if I use gprs connection the application is blocked after 19/20 minutes of socket inactivity and I must kill it. If I use gprs connection it takes 30 minutes about. I try with different phone model and I look that on e51 with wifi after 2 hours there aren't problems.

Can you help me?.. I also monitored the ammount of free ram but it is always sufficient for the program

I use pys60 1.4.5.

Hi jondavisofkorn

while 1:
	try:
		risp=f_im.readline()
	except:
		#error
		f_im.close()

Since readline() will return an empty string when the connection is closed, not an exception (I tested this behavior in Python 2.6), your code may not detect when the connection was closed. And, after f_im.close(), it does not leaves the loop. I was expecting some re-connection stuff here.

But I use PyS60 1.4.5.. it has the same behavior?
However in the next post I'm going to post the complete method so you can see all the code

Thanks for your reply

But I use PyS60 1.4.5.. it has the same behavior?

In this case, yes. Or we have a found bug !
I will try to test in 1.4.5
