Web services sometimes have limits about the allowed size of uploaded files. I know about one web server application framework (Zope/ZServer) that simply shuts down its communication channel when it receives a too large file - such a behaviour can confuse the client. Maybe, in your case, the server side, too, does something unexpected when it receives large files? "select/poll" by itself has nothing to do with the size of files. It is used to get informed when one out a set of communication channels is ready (again) for interaction. In principle, it should not fail -- unless something strange happens to the communication channels. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
