Guido van Rossum added the comment: I find Charles' argument pretty convincing. The whole point of this API is to have another thing you can add to the selector to deal with a race condition. You then pass this thing's fileno() to signal.set_wakeup_fd(). That should be totally portable.
I'm find with it requiring a fd that refers to a socket on Windows; plain files aren't selectable anyway (not even on UNIX). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22018> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
