New submission from Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org>: Many random bits of the standard library were originally written using select.select. This is an ancient API that is available everywhere, but these days you'd be hard pressed to find _any_ system that does not implement the superior poll() API which does not suffer from the file descriptor limits problem of select().
A select.select() work-a-like should be possible to write that is implemented using poll.poll(). I am attaching my untested work in progress version of something like that as I don't have time to work on this further at the moment. Someone else can pick it up if desired. (sorry about the code being in Google style rather than PEP-8) ---------- files: poll_select-gps001.txt messages: 162498 nosy: gregory.p.smith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Provide a select.select implemented using select.poll type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file25861/poll_select-gps001.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
