New submission from George King <gk...@arboreality.net>: My builds from trunk fail to open a number of files greater than the default 2660, even when I increase the limit using:
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE, (test_limit, -1)) Attached is a script that doubles the default limit, sets it, queries it to make sure that it is set, and then opens the expected number of files. The script succeeds when run on the python2.6 that apples ships with 10.6, and it succeeds when run on my build of python3.2 trunk (updated today). However, it fails on python2.7 trunk (also built today). here is sample output: gk > python2.6 ./file_limits_bug.py default file limits: (2560, 9223372036854775807) new file limits: (5120, 9223372036854775807) gk > python2.7 ./file_limits_bug.py default file limits: (2560, 9223372036854775807) new file limits: (5120, 9223372036854775807) Traceback (most recent call last): File "./file_limits_bug.py", line 34, in <module> IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: 'testfiles/testfile2557' ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: file_limits_bug.py messages: 96821 nosy: george.king severity: normal status: open title: Increasing resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE has no effect type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15664/file_limits_bug.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7565> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
