There was a problem hiding this comment.
We've been here in the past, and it was the source of all kinds of trouble iirc. Allow me some time to review this in more depth.

The problem is if exception is thrown from handler of
messageevent on zmq socket:messageevents after it, because reading of messages did not finish and if new messages arrive the state does not changeI have put together two simple test programs to demonstrate the problem. Pubber emits event every second and subber receives it and throws exception if event number is 10.
The fix is to distinguish between exceptions thrown from _zmq.readv() (from zmq bindings) and exceptions thrown from user provided callbacks. For the former case we behave like before. For the later case we reschedule reading from socket and re-throw exception so that it can get handled as normally.
