select.poll isn't supported on Windows, because Windows doesn't have such a feature, or at least it didn't until Vista. Vista implements the same thing but called WSAPoll, an article is here http://blogs.msdn.com/wndp/archive/2006/10/26/WSAPoll.aspx I hope that the next edition of Python supports select.poll on Vista, or at least that someone writes a third-party module fo it. As much as I'd love to do it myself, it's probably beyond me.. i've never used poll before nor written a Python extension. also, i don't have Vista. Thanks
If you use Twisted, then you can use I/O Completion Ports, which are even better than WSAPoll, and your code will also work with KQueue on BSD or EPoll on Linux without any changes. :) Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
