Henrik Heimbuerger added the comment: Here's a suggestion for a documentation addition. Comments on tone and content are welcome, and I'm willing to update it and submit modified patch files.
This adds the following note: If a file descriptor *fileno* is specified, the other arguments are ignored and and the socket with this file descriptor is returned. Unlike :meth:`fromfd`, this does not cause a duplication of the file descriptor and therefore supports the special case of closing detached socket handles on Windows using ``socket.socket(fileno=handle).close()``. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +hheimbuerger Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29195/issue16802.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16802> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
