STINNER Victor added the comment: > What's the use case for not wanting to use an extra FD?
A selector may be used a few millisecond just to check if a socket is ready, and then destroyed. For such use case, select() is maybe enough (1 syscall). Epoll requires more system calls: create the epoll FD, register the socket, poll, destroy the epoll FD (4 syscalls). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19465> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
