Also, are you sure the things returned by socket.fleno() are really Windows
handles? I thought they were some other artificial namespace used just by
sockets.
(You know what? I know understand and love the UNIX concept
"everything is file"!)
I don't know if a socket handle is similar to file handles or if they
are specials. At least, GetHandleInformation() and
SetHandleInformation() functions, used by
os.get/set_handle_inheritable(), accept socket handles.
Anti-virus software and firewalls can stop SetHandleInformation() from
working properly on sockets:
