Not sure if this is the right mailing list for this....
epoll should *not* be used on 2.4 kernels...
I'm sorry to say that Twisted does not currently support 2.4 kernels. Our set of supported platforms is defined by the set of buildbots that we maintain: http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/boxes-supported?branch=trunk&num_builds=10 As far as I know none of those platforms use a 2.4 kernel. If you wanted to contribute or fund some resources for a 2.4 buildbot, we could consider it, but... it seems like this would be a waste of time. Even my ancient WiFi routers which I can never upgrade because of proprietary firmware drivers still have a 2.6 kernel at least. As I understand it, 2.4 was end-of-lifed 8 years ago, and even at that point it was pretty well into its decline. Why are you using it? Is "just use a really old version of Twisted" an acceptable answer for you? I ask because I am wondering if supporting it is something it would be reasonable to entertain. -glyph
