please add a docstring for each method/function

Done.

additional spaces unnecessary

when would get either of these exceptions (here and below)?

[dgarrett, 2010/12/07 04:08:51]

Usually because the connections are closed at the far end. I probably should
have figured out exactly what all exceptions could be thrown, but decided that I
really didn't care. Any error means close it all.
