well the saga continues with using python under wine - i thought i'd let you know the analysis and clues so far, in case it rings any bells with anyone, now or in the future. as you're probably aware, there's a limit in nt of 2048 file descriptors which has caused a large number
Well the "default" number of file handles one gets on Linux is 1024. Though that can be easily bumped up. Are you sure you do not run into your host limit?
hiya michael,
good point - although the "success" instance was under wine (when it should not have been successful, according to the exact same test with the exact same app running under xp).
also note it's file descriptors not file handles, and to emphasise this, the selectmodule.c in python i had to increase the #define FD_SETMAX to 2048 in order to cope with the massive number of file descriptors - both under wine and also native xp in a qemu VM.
funny. it's always the bumbling-along not knowing what's really going on that finds the errors. if you quotes know what you're doing quotes then you always do things quotes right quotes and the errors are never encountered....
