What do you mean? NotIlmplementedError is acceptable if only rare and/or old OS raise such issue? > According to the following email, fcntl.FD_CLOEXEC was not available > in Python 2.2 on Red Hat 7.3 (in 2003): > http://communities.mentor.com/community/cs/archives/qmtest/msg00501.html This issue looks like http://bugs.python.org/issue496171 So it looks like the problem was just that the constant was not exposed properly whereas the OS supports the feature. I guess that FD_CLOEXEC always worked on RedHat.
