[Jython-dev] Why select module but not asyncore?

[Giampaolo Rodola' <bil...@gm...>]

Hi all,
I noticed that the 2.2 version finally included the select module but
I also noticed that asyncore and asynchat modules aren't available
yet.

Just for the heck of it I've tried to use the cPython asyncore.py but
this is the error I get when I try to run an asyncore-based module of
mine:

c:\jython2.2.1>jython.bat ftpserver.py
Serving FTP on 0.0.0.0:21
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "ftpserver.py", line 2374, in ?
  File "ftpserver.py", line 2370, in test
  File "ftpserver.py", line 2284, in serve_forever
  File "C:\jython2.2.1\Lib\asyncore.py", line 191, in loop
  File "C:\jython2.2.1\Lib\asyncore.py", line 121, in poll
  File "C:\jython2.2.1\Lib\select.py", line 171, in native_select
  File "C:\jython2.2.1\Lib\select.py", line 90, in register
  File "C:\jython2.2.1\Lib\select.py", line 54, in _getselectable
TypeError: ("Object 'None' is not watchable", 88)


Is there a reason why asyncore.py shouldn't work with select?
I don't know much about jython but I'm experienced with asyncore, so I
would happy to give an help, if needed.
