[3.7] bpo-32568: make select.epoll() and its docs consistent (GH-7840)#8024
Merged
Conversation
* `flags` is indeed deprecated, but there is a validation on its value for backwards compatibility reasons. This adds mention of this in the docs. * The docs say that `sizehint` is deprecated and ignored, but it is still used when `epoll_create1()` is unavailable. This adds mention of this in the docs. * `sizehint=-1` is acceptable again, and is replaced with `FD_SETSIZE-1`. This is needed to have a default value available at the Python level, since `FD_SETSIZE` is not exposed to Python. (see: bpo-31938) * Reject `sizehint=0` since it is invalid to pass on to `epoll_create()`. The relevant tests have also been updated.
