According to man:
----------------------
ERRORS
       EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
The socket is marked nonblocking and no connections are present to be accepted.  POSIX.1-2001 allows either error to be returned for this case, and does not require these constants to have the same value, so a portable application should check for both possibilities.

patch updated for handling EPIPE

Ok for EAGAIN.

I'm not completely sure about EPIPE on recv() as it is not listed here:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/recv.2.html
...although I think it's ok to treat it as an alias for connection lost anyway.

In pyftpdlib I treat both EPIPE and EBADF as disconnect events, and this works with both select() and poll().

Your patches should be targeted for python 3.3 (and not 2.x).

Giampaolo pinged me over email...

These additional conditions look good, and should be targeted for 3.3 .

Thank you :)

Fixed in r88722.
I did not catch EAGAIN in connect() as it makes hang some tests.

> I did not catch EAGAIN in connect() as it makes hang some tests.
maybe incorrect tests? which test(s) failed ?

mmarkk@fad:/usr/include$ fgrep EWOULDB -r .
./asm-generic/errno.h:#define	EWOULDBLOCK	EAGAIN	/* Operation would block */

So not catching EAGAIN ( at least in Linux) can not make some tests hang.
