winpoll 0.20287.0

No project description provided

Implementation of select.poll for Windows.

• Pure Python; no C extensions (uses ctypes.windll)
• Drop-in-compatible API
• Clean "ponyfill"; no monkeypatching
• No dependencies (besides Windows Vista or newer)
• Python 3.6+ compatible

Usage

try:
  from select import POLLIN, POLLOUT, poll
except ImportError:
  # https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/60711
  from winpoll import POLLIN, POLLOUT, wsapoll as poll

p = poll()

p.register(sock1, POLLIN)
p.register(sock2, POLLIN | POLLOUT)
p.unregister(sock1)

for sock, events in p.poll(timeout=3):
    print(f"Socket {sock} is ready with {events}")

# like select.poll objects, winpoll.wsapoll objects acquire no resources
# thus have no cleanup requirement besides plain garbage collection

Limitations / Bugs

• Does not work before Windows Vista.

  • Last affected OS EOL: April 8, 2014

• Outbound TCP connections don't correctly report failure-to-connect ((POLLHUP | POLLERR | POLLWRNORM)) before Windows 10 Version 2004 (OS build 19041).

  • Last affected OS EOL: May 10, 2022
