[Qgis-developer] Socket server freezes on Python plugin

[G. Allegri]

No problems with your basic example with pure python threading. The problem
is the interaction with the Qt event loop. That's why PyQt threading is
there ;)

QtNetworking deals with all this networking and threading issues
internally, so my problem is solved that way.

what could be the difference between using QtNetworking vs.
threading/socket and if that is the expected behavior or not.

thread and handles requests. I create the server using
SocketServer.TCPServer and threading.Thread in the initGui method and the
plugin starts correctly, but if I try to get a response from a client, the
server freezes and does not respond.

closes a file and, if I click that button, the server unfreezes and I get
the response as expected. However, if I create the socket server with the
same exact code as an standalone program, it works as expected without
freezing.

[2] searching for an example or solution but I couldn't find anything. Does
anyone know what may be wrong? Any hint will be greatly appreciated. I
attach the Qgis plugin as well as the standalone server and client.
