Steve Dower added the comment: Pipes and file handles are equivalent in Windows, but socket handles are their own namespace and have their own functions. Some Python code will switch between them automatically to make socket functions work with file descriptors, but generally I'd expect stream pipes (as opposed to, IIRC, datagram pipes) to be compatible with files but not sockets.
Not entirely sure how that plays into this issue, but it's a bit more background. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
