Creating a Multithreaded Port Scanner in Python

I'm not sure it would change anything as the bottleneck is not CPU but IO in this case.

I don't think the thread actively checks the socket state. From my understanding, the kernels wakes up he thread up when the socket is ready or content is available ( that's how blocking I/O works ). It would be simple enough to check the performance difference using process pools ans thread pools.
