Re: [Python-Dev] Assign to errno allowed?

I'm trying to fix selectmodule.c on Windows (it raises bogus exceptions, because select() on Windows does not set errno).

Are you *sure* about that?

The first patch I had was this: [...] but PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr is not present in the 2.2 maintainance branch. An easier fix would be this one, but I wonder if it is allowed/good style to set 'errno':

Yes, assignment to errno is fine. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
