What I learned - the addReader/addWriter/etc. API is far too select() oriented. Every other alternative (poll, kqeue, windows event thing) works by registering and unregistering objects - correct me if I'm wrong.
So instead of having to emulate a select()-like API, we need a select() wrapper that acts like poll(). In other words, addReader and friends must go when we refactor the event loop code.
I'm confused. In what way is "adding/removing a reader/writer" not "registering/unregistering an object"? In fact, I chose that API specifically because I didn't think it was like select(). -- ______ you are in a maze of twisted little applications, all | |_\ remarkably consistent. | | -- glyph lefkowitz, glyph @ twisted matrix . com |_____| http://www.twistedmatrix.com/
