: Yeah. This is a bummer. Ron Forrester (?) (rjf@aurora.pcg.com) had a
: solution for this that only works on NT. I think the only win32s way to do
: this will be another hack, similar to what has been done on the mac by
: Jack@cwi.nl (?).
In my attempt to add the socket module to the OS/2 version of Python
I created a new object called 'filesock' that returned a pseudo file
object under OS/2 when sock.makefile() was called. I tested it briefly
with httplib and ftplib and it worked fine.
If you want to have a look I can send you the piece of code.
