Python tcp send receive functions

In python the recv is a blocking function or not? I'm learned in the Uni C and there the was blocking and non-blocking socket. So I just wan to ask weather in python the recv function is a blocking function or not.

Sockets in Python are blocking by the default. This behavior can be changed with setblocking or settimeout.

Another good place to find information on this is the socket how-to, especially the section on non-blocking sockets.

The socket in Python is blocking by default, unless you change it.
