How sure are you? Suppose I use poll() with a 0.5 msec timeout. This presumably gets rounded up to 1 msec. But if the system clock has e.g. a 10 msec resolution, won't this still wait 0 msec? Or will it wait until the next "tick" occurs, which could be anywhere between 0 and 10 msec in the future? But if so, why wouldn't a poll() with a 0 msec timeout also wait between 0 and 10 msec? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20505> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
