[issue5154] OSX broken poll testing doesn't work

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I propose to close this as won't fix. The reason: poll on OSX does work, but fairly limited in the kinds of file descriptors it works with. The HAVE_BROKEN_POLL test is meant to detect poll implementation that don't even manage to implement the API correctly

James Y Knight added the comment: The reason it's a problem is because a "device" is everything other than a socket, pipe, slave-side of tty, or file. That is, /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/tty, psuedo-tty masters from openpty (e.g. for running subprocesses), etc. I find it quite amazing that th

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Time to try to get this going again... What exactly is wrong with poll on OSX? Both the configure test and the runtime test for poll behavior work as designed. According to the first message there are other problems with poll on OSX, but without a clear d

Ben Bangert added the comment: Ah, sorry, misunderstanding. I'm not recommending that Python copy Apple's patch. I was pointing out that the HAVE_BROKEN_POLL test apparently doesn't work, and that *all* manually compiled copies of Python done on OSX will suffer this socket 35 error without havin
