Failing 99% of the time is as bad as failing 100% of the time, if your goal is to eliminate the short timeout on poll(). 1% is quite a lot, and it would probably have an annoying tendency to trigger repeatedly when the user does certain things (not reproducible by you of course). That said, I do hope we can get 100%, or at least enough nines that we can increase the timeout significantly. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
