On Windows, sockets are completely independent from file descriptors. A socket id can be large (typically over 1000), fortunately a fd_set is not indexed by descriptors; FD_SET just appends the socket descriptor to the array; there is a limit of 64 sockets, but no limit on the value of a descriptor. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12287> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
