The code isn't setting it to RLIM_INFINITY explicitly, though, so this must mean that OSX is reporting an infinite hard limit when the hard limit is not in fact infinite. Seems like this is an OSX bug that we will have to work around somehow. Maybe in getrlimit, by doing the max(OPEN_MAX, rlim_max) dance suggested by the osx man page. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18963> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
