Non blocking receiving for async codes

[Slexyy]

It would be cool if the library supported non blocking receiving for async codes that it wouldn't block the event loop when receiving, like have an option to not block when initializing the library :-)

Thanks!

You can run nc.settimeout(0) to disable blocking. Is this sufficient?

I'm working with UDP, still seems to block , hmm, my code is like this:

nc = nclib.Netcat(listen=9999, udp=True).settimeout(0)

and it won't let me continue with rest of the async tasks

Seems to be the same with TCP

Oh, I didn't realize you were talking about initializing a listening service. I don't know if it's possible to not block for that... as far as I know, UDP needs to block on startup in order to determine what the address we should send to should be, and TCP needs to block on startup for the accept() call. Do you have a code example somewhere else that does what you want, perhaps in a different language? If it's possible, I can implement it, but rn I'm not convinced the interfaces let you do what you want.
