IIRC, poll is broken in Mac OS X and newer versions of Python ignore the implementation if it doesn't work right. It's doing you a favor. Whatever package you're trying to use should fall back to select if poll isn't available, so it's the package that is broken (or rather, not cross-platform). -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
