Vaibhav Mallya <mally...@umich.edu> added the comment: On second thought, it seems like it shouldn't make sense. This forces a destructive check. Suppose we do child.poll() and then child.recv() but it's legitimate data; that data will be removed from the queue even if we just wanted to check if the pipe was alive. This seems like it shouldn't have to happen.
I'm unfamiliar with the lower level workings of sockets; is this destructive checking behavior forced by the socket internals? Is it standard? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5573> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
