In Python, you use ``socket.setblocking(False)`` to make it non-blocking. In C, it's
more complex, (for one thing, you'll need to choose between the BSD flavor
``O_NONBLOCK`` and the almost indistinguishable Posix flavor ``O_NDELAY``, which
``O_NONBLOCK`` and the almost indistinguishable POSIX flavor ``O_NDELAY``, which
is completely different from ``TCP_NODELAY``), but it's the exact same idea. You
do this after creating the socket, but before using it. (Actually, if you're
nuts, you can switch back and forth.)
