Yes, but:

"""The nfds parameter is included only for compatibility with Berkeley

... according to 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/Winsock2/nf-winsock2-select

So it's really FD_SETSIZE that matters, and it's a compile-time constant.

Note that Anaconda has been doing this for a long time:
