Giampaolo Rodola' added the comment: Using poll() by default is controversial for 2 reasons, I think:
#1 - a certain slowdown is likely to be introduced (I'll measure it) #2 - current wait() implementation allows to specify a list of file descriptors and/or Connections objects. select() can deal with both while poll() does not (it will return a list of integers rather than a list of Connection instances). I'm not sure how "public" multiprocessing.connection.wait() is considered and how much backward compatibility should matter in this case. > behaviour might change subtly when the fd becomes > 512 What do you mean? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10527> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
