Hi all, We have a select-based server written in Python. Occasionally, maybe twice a month there occurs a weird problem, select() returns with filedescriptor out of range in select() error. This is of course a normal error and handled gracefully. Our policy is to take down few users for select() to handle the next cycle. However, once this error occurs, this also fails too:
self.__Sockets.remove(socket) self.__Socket's is the very basic list of sockets we use in our IO loop. The call fails with: remove(x): x not in list First of all, in our entire application there is no line of code like remove(x), meaning there is no x variable. Second, the Exception shows the line number containing above code. So self.__Sockets.remove(socket) this fails with remove(x): x not in list.... I cannot understand the problem. It happens in sporadic manner and it feels that the ValueError of select() call somehow corrupts the List structure itself in Python? Not sure if something like that is possible.
