Charles-François Natali added the comment: The patch looks good, however there's something really bothering me: in issue #14635, the same type of patch was applied to telnetlib, here, it's multiprocessing and AFAICT, any single use of select() in the standard library is subject to this FD_SETSIZE limitation. That why I think it could probably be a good idea to expose a high-level "selector" object in the select module, which would use the "right" syscall transparently (e.g. select, poll or /dev/poll), with a unified API. This would make writing portable and efficient I/O multiplexing code much easier, not only in the stdlib, but also for end-users.
