[Gllug] poll() & python

[ab]

Hey,
Anyone using Python out there ?
Try to do asynchronous I/O on a socket... using the poll() system call
(reading the man page it says that poll is more efficient than select).
However once connection is made, it always returns data ready to be
read (POLLIN flag), and always returns immediately with no timeout.
The client has hungup already and reading gives 0 bytes ??????

Sample code:

                poller.register(conn.fileno(),select.POLLIN | select.POLLERR
| select.POLLHUP | select.POLLNVAL)
                while 1:
                    result = poller.poll(5000)
                    if result == []:
                        break
                    fd,event = result[0]
                    if event == select.POLLIN:
                        str = conn.recv(1024)
                        print len(str)
                        print str
                    else:
                        break
                poller.unregister(conn.fileno())

Anyone used poll before ? its got me foxed !
