New submission from Kálmán Gergely <kalman.gerg...@duodecad.hu>: socket.fromfd()'s behaviour is somewhat counter-intutive and should contain a note to warn the user that it'll leave the original FD open. This is important if someone forgets to manually close the file descriptor as it might lead to FD leaks (and kernel memory leaks). This is especially the case when there is no python object associated with the FD, so no destruction will take place.
patch applies to this: http://docs.python.org/py3k/archives/python-3.1.2-docs-html.tar.bz2 The only thing it does is that it adds a note section with the following message: "The original file descriptor will not be closed." synapse ---------- assignee: d...@python components: Documentation files: fromfd_doc.patch keywords: patch messages: 118637 nosy: d...@python, synapse priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: socket.fromfd() documentation problem type: feature request versions: Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19230/fromfd_doc.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10099> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
