Victor has asked me to cherry-pick 180e4b678003:

http://bugs.python.org/issue20320 (original issue) http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/180e4b678003/ (checkin into trunk) http://bugs.python.org/issue20646 (cherry-pick request)

This revision changes the rounding behavior of fractional-second timeouts for select.select and select.kqueue. I don't have enough context to judge whether or not this is bad enough to warrant cherry-picking, and the discussion on the issue didn't seem to come to a firm consensus.

Can I get some opinions on this? Well, it's certainly not rc-critical. It improves a bit a fringe behaviour that's unlikely to be noticeable by anyone in the real world.

If you look at http://bugs.python.org/issue20320, Charles-François there explains why it's a minor issue.

Yes, I read the reply by Charles-François. I was interested in seeing more opinions. However, nobody seems to be stepping up with any, so I'll assume for now it can be left unpicked. //arry/
