Let's hope it gets applied. I'll make a bug report and attach the patch to it.
My code uses something like this to send the data:
def send(self, msg):
l = len(msg)
raw = 'G' + struct.pack('H%ds' % l, socket.htons(l), msg)
self.socket.send(raw)
To receive the data, I use something like:
...
raw = self.socket.recv(4)
...
l = socket.ntohs(struct.unpack('H', raw[2:4])[0])
raw = self.socket.recv(int(l))
Worked ok until now. Very similar with your code :)
Cheers,
Ionutz
