Cool.  I think a different name might be more "pythonic"[1] tho, something
like receive_full or receive_queue.

Thanks.

Btw, before receive2 is stabilised, you may consider enhancing it by an

I will look into this in the very near future. For this project what do you
mean by "stabilized"?
Somewhat related to all of this:
I've been looking into using the Boost.Python library (available under a MIT
like license) for wrapping up the 0mq code.  From what I know of that
library so far, it will allow for a "more pythonic" translation to python.
 This may not be a direct, 1:1 mapping of methods and objects, but something
close which also utilizes certain python idioms.  My question here is, would
this be something you guys would want official, or a separate but related
project?

Regards,
Erich

[1] Pythonic is a term used in the python community to mean roughly "fits
the idioms and ideals of the language".
