Michael Broghton <mbrough...@advanis.ca> added the comment: Martin, thanks for your responses. In regards to point three:
Kqueue's are not just used for file descriptors. I believe this is the reason why the ident field is a uintptr_t and not an int. The example I gave was for kqueue timers. Since the operating system does not allocate 'timer descriptors' for you, I decided to use the return value from the id function. Here is some code that demonstrates: import select a = 1 b = id(a) c = select.kevent(a) d = select.kevent(b) assert a == c.ident assert b == d.ident assert b & (1<<32) - 1 == d.ident The second assert will fail on 64 bit systems if 'b' is too big. Anyway, I will try to come up with a patch for this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7211> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
