python - How to keep socket alive? -

should keep alive sockets on server if interact known clients long time , of them stays online , max amount of them 10? if yes best way this? like:

class mysocket:     '''demonstration class       - coded clarity, not efficiency     '''      def __init__(self, sock=none):         if sock none:             self.sock = socket.socket(                 socket.af_inet, socket.sock_stream)         else:             self.sock = sock      def connect(self, host, port):         self.sock.connect((host, port))      def mysend(self, msg):         totalsent = 0         while totalsent < msglen:             sent = self.sock.send(msg[totalsent:])             if sent == 0:                 raise runtimeerror("socket connection broken")             totalsent = totalsent + sent      def myreceive(self):         chunks = []         bytes_recd = 0         while bytes_recd < msglen:             chunk = self.sock.recv(min(msglen - bytes_recd, 2048))             if chunk == '':                 raise runtimeerror("socket connection broken")             chunks.append(chunk)             bytes_recd = bytes_recd + len(chunk)         return ''.join(chunks) 

will good? happens if specify more size recv() socket have?
