Hi Glyph,<br>
<br>
first, thanks as always!<br>
<br>
The pykqueue 1.3 and 2.0 referenced in that ticket seem to be no longer<br>
maintained.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, Python has built-in support for kqueue since Python 2.6<br>
in the select module.<br>
<br>
I have adjusted the Twisted kqreactor to select.kqueue and made a package:<br>
<br>

<br>
I have tested that reactor successfully with Autobahn WebSockets on FreeBSD 8.2<br>
(running as a VirtualBox x86 VM). When I'm home later, I can check out Mac.<br>
<br>
Doing the Autobahn tests helped me finding the only non-canonical change required<br>
<br>

<br>
Is there any regression/test/stresstest I could run to verify the stuff actually works?<br>
<br>
The Autobahn WS tests do quite some stuff, but they do not test concurrency and<br>
high connections numbers ..<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Tobias<br>
