{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"`configure` option for epoll disable","articleBody":"The illumos implementation of epoll is not good enough to be used by Python and so OpenIndiana modifies the `configure` script to make sure the epoll is not detected (and so not used).  Here are patches for Python [3.7](https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/e2675a3ec4ff95a5110795e4aecf96cfa20b0679/components/python/python37/patches/32-epoll.patch), [3.9](https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/e2675a3ec4ff95a5110795e4aecf96cfa20b0679/components/python/python39/patches/44-disable_epoll.patch), [3.12](https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/e2675a3ec4ff95a5110795e4aecf96cfa20b0679/components/python/python312/patches/44-disable_epoll.patch), and [3.13](https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/e2675a3ec4ff95a5110795e4aecf96cfa20b0679/components/python/python-313/patches/06-disable_epoll.patch).\n\nIt would be great if there is some `configure` option to disable epoll so we do not need to cary these patches.\n\nThank you.\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-145768\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/mtelka","@type":"Person","name":"mtelka"},"datePublished":"2025-09-12T20:26:18.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/138850/cpython/issues/138850"}
