Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerw...@gmail.com> added the comment: Does this mean that it's better to call the close() syscall 1000 or 1000 0000 times rather than listing the open fds & closing say a handful?
On Linux, the listdir function results in an open() syscall, 2 or so getdents() calls and a close() call - could this not be done inbetween the fork & exec, even if the actual python function isn't called directly? ---------- nosy: +rosslagerwall _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8052> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
