Many systems also use 0 to indicate a non-value (or forever)… consider checking for 0 or None?

That is a good point as evidently 0 means set nonblocking, and I believe we want to disallow that.
None
, however, in my opinion should be permissible as it is (for all intents) equivalent to a very large number.There was a problem hiding this comment.

In other words
session.connection_timeout = None
is clear and correct in intent, if you take it to mean "eliminate timeouts totally for the given session."There was a problem hiding this comment.

Agreed that
None
conveys the intent.I was suggesting that if this is a user-facing setting, that setting it to either
0
orNone
would be equivalent and correct. If this is not user-facing, then... carry on.There was a problem hiding this comment.

The docs now encourage the use of:
as a way to dictate how long the client socket should wait until declaring a server peer as down and giving up, as it were.
So, yes, it is user-facing....
But
0
andNone
are not equivalent here, actually.0
would invalidate the socket for further use by the PRC, by turning on non-blocking behavior (ie null-length values could now be read from the socket when it has not yet received any bytes of the expected server response) whereasNone
declares we never want to declare the server peer down. i.e. "turn off timeouts completely"There was a problem hiding this comment.

If Windows is a different case, though, I should re-evaluate

No worries - if
None
is the only correct answer - please consider leaving a comment somewhere user-facing... that will let them know that0
behaves differently and why.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Sounds good. I'll update the docs to caution against setting 0 (which doesn't yet cause an immediate error , but should) or even too low a value, as the latter would have an effect down the line of raising a
NetworkError
the first time the server "responds too slowly"... which (as long as the server is alive and still working) would be technically incorrect practice on the application writer's part.
