Thanks Bob, I've assigned that to myself.

I'm glad to hear that your experience has been positive.

Jython networking *mostly* uses java.nio, but there are some
situations where java.net *must* be used, e.g. timeout support on UDP
sockets, for example; the java.nio methods simply do not honour
timeouts on UDP sockets. This is why the jython socket implementation
is so messy, having to use java.nio in some circumstances and java.net
in others.

Indeed, it would be most interesting; please do share the results with us.

No worries, I've assigned it to myself already.

Thanks,
