Flush a socket in Python

Question

Is there a way in python to flush a socket once a request has been sent and the information has been obtained correctly?

I have a socket that is used to send different commands at different times, so I was just wondering if this was possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In general no is the answer - you can't flush a TCP socket. All that is under the control of TCP. Take a look at this question for some more information
