Hmm - after going through all of the Win32 sdks, it doesn't appear to be possible to do it any other way than as a -D option at compile time, so optimizing for the common case (folks who _don't_ need large numbers of fds) is reasonable. Since we distribute a python15.dll with Zope on windows, this isn't that big a deal for us - we can just compile in a higher limit in our distributed dll. I was mostly thinking of the win32 users who don't have the ability to rebuild their dll, but maybe this isn't that much of a problem; I suspect that the people who write significant socket apps that would run into this problem probably have access to a compiler if they need it.

Perhaps a paragraph in the library reference? If someone can send along a clear bit of text (unformatted is fine), I'll be glad to add it. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org> Corporation for National Research Initiatives
