[New-bugs-announce] [issue23225] selectors: raise an exception if the selector is closed

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

I propose to raise a RuntimeError exception on operations of a selector when the selector is closed.

I'm not sure that RuntimeError is the most common exception:

- io and gzip raise ValueError
- asyncio raises RuntimeError (and selectors is "linked" to asyncio)
- multiprocessing raises OSError
- dbm.dumb raises dbm.dumb.error

This issue is related to the issue #23209 which propopses to set the _map attribute to None when in the close() method.
