Ben Darnell <[email protected]> added the comment: It's worse than a resource leak - the same file descriptor number could be reused for a different file/socket, and then depending on the selector in use, you could see the data from a completely different connection.
I did see a bug like this years ago (in libcurl), although it's not a common problem. I'd use the proposed hook if it existed, but it seems like an intrusive solution to a rare issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32038> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
