I'm trying to make a module to support inotify (linux). I put together a module using boost::python. Problem is, inotify uses a file descriptor. If I call python os.fdopen on it, I get an error: Python 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:15:14) [GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from inotify import * >>> import os >>> i=inotify() >>> i.fileno() 4 >>> os.fdopen (i.fileno()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to trace through python if I could avoid it (I don't even have source installed here). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
