Hi,
At the moment file.fileno() returns an arbitrary identifier of a python
file rather than a true file descriptor. This is semi-blocking the
Ironclad port of PIL.
Code in PIL gets an integer using fileno() and passes it directly to C
code where a call to write() is made. To fix this one would have to
patch PIL, IronPython's file objects or the write function provided to C
code - none of these feel like a good course of action.
When ctypes is ported to IronPython this may create similar problems.
Ideally fileno() would return a real file descriptor. Would this be
possible?
Thanks,
Tom
