Yes, that's the problem it noticed in http://bugs.python.org/issue12498#msg146645 : """ (Note that the current code is probably broken: when POLLHUP is received, this likely means that the remote end has shutdown the connection, but there might still be some data in the input socket buffer. I'll try to dig a little...). """ I think the best would be to not handle POLLHUP events while POLLIN is set, so that the handlers can have a chance to drain the input socket buffer. But it's a separate issue, could you create a new one? You may also add a patch (in the same issue) to remove the useless setting of input flags to poll(): """ if flags: # Only check for exceptions if object was either readable # or writable. flags |= select.POLLERR | select.POLLHUP | select.POLLNVAL pollster.register(fd, flags) """ POLLERR, POLLHUP and POLLNVAL don't make sense when passed as input to poll() (they're set automatically in the output revents). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12498> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
