Wouldn't a better alternative be to have a wait function which can deal with readable pipe connections and integer handles? On Unix this would just delegate to select(). On Windows it could work as follows: * initiate an overlapped read on each connection * call WaitForMultipleObjects() * cancel each overlapped read * continue any read which succeeded but only gave a partial message * store read messages on associated connection objects I did start on such a patch. It worked, but I did not get round to writing tests for it... ---------- nosy: +sbt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11836> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
