Problem with multi threaded Python app and socket connections

by

You could try gevent:

from gevent.pool import Pool    
from gevent import monkey; monkey.patch_all() # patches stdlib    
import sys
import logging    
from httplib import HTTPSConnection
from timeit import default_timer as timer    
info = logging.getLogger().info

def connect(hostname):
    info("connecting %s", hostname)
    h = HTTPSConnection(hostname, timeout=2)
    try: h.connect()
    except IOError, e:
        info("error %s reason: %s", hostname, e)
    else:
        info("done %s", hostname)
    finally:
        h.close()

def main():
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format="%(asctime)s %(message)s")    
    info("getting hostname list")
    hosts_file = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else "hosts.txt"
    hosts_list = open(hosts_file).read().splitlines()    
    info("spawning jobs")
    pool = Pool(20) # limit number of concurrent connections
    start = timer()
    for _ in pool.imap(connect, hosts_list):
        pass
    info("%d hosts took us %.2g seconds", len(hosts_list), timer() - start)

if __name__=="__main__":
    main()

It can process more than one host per second.

Output
