Python has a low-level _PyVerify_fd() which uses the __pioinfo private array. It looks socket "handles" (small integers betwen 256 and 1000 in my quick tests) and file descriptors overlap. Files get file descriptors between 0 and 2047. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22018> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
