We're currently only doing testing on Windows XP. I know that some version of iocpreactor worked on Windows 2000 at some point in the past, but that may have been before the significant rewrite. We're short on Windows machines for testing already - we barely have enough for Windows XP coverage. If support for other platforms would be useful for you, there are a few (non-exclusive) things you can do: - Contribute patches implementing the support you're after. This is tricky, since as a project we don't have access to any Windows 2000 machines, and we're much less likely to look at patches that fix issues on platforms we don't have access to. However, it's not impossible that such patches could be accepted. It depends on the problem and the patch. - Contribute a slave for that platform. Slaves need to be online most of the time and be able to run Buildbot and Twisted's test suite. - Contribute funds for us to get a machine to run such a slave. As far as the particular error you're seeing goes, I don't really have a clue. I hope that one of the people more familiar with iocpreactor will chime in about that.
