select.poll() and WSAPoll

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/2...6/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

Python 2.6 and 3.0 doesn't have support for WSAPoll so far. I don't have
Vista on my dev box so I can't add WSAPoll as I've added epoll and
kqueue for 2.6.

I don't think we can officially support WPAPoll since Python 2.6 is
suppose to run on Windows 2000 and XP, too.

Oh, yeah, I was wondering about that, since there aren't separate
distributions of Python for Vista vs. XP etc. But I wonder if Python could
just give an attribute error, or perhaps some other error, for select.poll
if it's not running on Vista, perhaps some kind of run-time detection if
it's vista or if wsapoll is available? or even an installation time thing?
Since there's nothing promising that select.poll will work on windows
anyway. or does it just not work like that? :e

although a third party module would be nice too (if anyone out there has
vista..:)

I'm trying to read standard out in a process started with popen2 in a non-blocking way. (Other good ways of doing this than the one I tried are appreciated.) I've tried to dumb down my code to see what happens, and socket.poll seems to behave very strangely. I've tried to use the .poll method for the poll object with and without a timeout, but in either case, the output randomly switches between on of the versions below. It runs fast,...

Hi, I'm using a blocking Select() call on a socket with a timeout value of -1. I'd expect the call to block indefinitely, but it doesn't. When I use Poll() instead, a timeout of -1 works fine and blocks indefinitely. The net effect is that I cannot write a select on more than one file descripter if I want to block. (With timeout values >= 0, both Select() and Poll() work fine.)

I have a problem with python's asyncore module throwing a bad file descriptor error. The code might be difficult to copy here, but the problem is essentially: The server wants to sever the connection of an open Asyncore socket. Calling the socket.close() nor the socket.shutdown(2) calls seem to work. The only way I can close the connection without creating the error below is to have the client close the connection.

Hi all, I have the standard Python 2.4.4 windows download installed on my win XP box. But the poll class in module select is not available. The docs indicate that it can work with windows as long as only sockets are used which is fine for me. Is there a reason it's not in the standard build, can I use it if I re compile the 'select' module from the source?

I have some questions about select() and poll(). I heard the poll( ... ) call is usually preferred over and more efficient than select( ... ) simply because poll( ... ) only requires that you specify the handles you are interested in and can be quickly iterated thru by the system function call... But if you have a VERY busy server and almost ALL handles are being used - then their efficiency should be about equivalent. and in a very few cases...
