According to the man page, it's Linux-specific. It's not quite the same thing, anyway. What I had in mind was attaching the handler itself directly to the file descriptor, rather than going through a signal number. That way, different piece of code can use the mechanism independently on different file descriptors without having to coordinate over sharing a signal handler. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
