I've read some post the other day of a guy faced similar problem and
it turns out {e,}poll is limited as well, besides I don't know how to
use it so an example would be great.
Now, someone I work with suggested a simple work around "Pass the list
objects in groups of 1024 each time to the select.select structure". I
think it's acceptable and good advice, the thing is I don't know how
to implement this "the python way" (that is - with out it being ugly).
Can I do modulation ( % 1024 ) on the main iterator loop?
Something like:
for nb_active_socket in (all_sockets % 1024):
if nb_active_socket in ready_to_read:
conn, addr = nb_active_socket.accept()
while 1:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data: break
conn.send(data)
conn.close()
?
Thanks for helping,
Maxim.
