[issue19876] selectors (and asyncio?): document behaviour on closed files/sockets

2013-12-09 Thread Guido van Rossum
Guido van Rossum added the comment: Sadly, the optimistic code doesn't work on Windows. I think it may be because the socketpair() helper at the top of test_selectors.py uses an extra socket ('l') and the handles just don't match up (I get a failure on assert wr2.fileno() == w). So I
