 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

 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.)

 Python currently supports seven schemes:

+- *posix_prefix*: scheme for POSIX platforms like Linux or Mac OS X.  This is
   the default scheme used when Python or a component is installed.
-- *posix_home*: scheme for Posix platforms used when a *home* option is used
+- *posix_home*: scheme for POSIX platforms used when a *home* option is used
   upon installation.  This scheme is used when a component is installed through
   Distutils with a specific home prefix.
-- *posix_user*: scheme for Posix platforms used when a component is installed
+- *posix_user*: scheme for POSIX platforms used when a component is installed
   through Distutils and the *user* option is used.  This scheme defines paths
   located under the user home directory.
 - *nt*: scheme for NT platforms like Windows.
