It no longer accepts "rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY" for RLIM_NOFILE. Use "rlim_cur = min(OPEN_MAX, rlim_max)". https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/setrlimit.2.html

See also issue issue 17409. The code isn't setting it to RLIM_INFINITY explicitly, though, so this must mean that OSX is reporting an infinite hard limit when the hard limit is not in fact infinite. Seems like this is an OSX bug that we will have to work around somehow. Maybe in getrlimit, by doing the max(OPEN_MAX, rlim_max) dance suggested by the osx man page.

Seems like this is an OSX bug that we will have to work around somehow. Indeed. I saw this while testing on "custom" buildbots, and opted for the simplest solution: I added a @require_mac_version decorator, hoping this would be solved in recent OSX versions. Apparently not :) As a simple check, does the following work on OSX ? >>> limit = resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE) >>> resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE, limit) Does the attached patch solve this?

"As a simple check, does the following work on OSX ? >>> limit = resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE) >>> resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE, limit)" It doesn't produce an exception. "Does the attached patch solve this?" With the patch, test_selectors no longer fails.

I knew this wouldn't be so easy with OS X... http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Tiger%203.x/builds/6916/steps/test/logs/stdio ====================================================================== ERROR: test_above_fd_setsize (test.test_selectors.PollSelectorTestCase) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/db3l/buildarea/3.x.bolen-tiger/build/Lib/unittest/case.py", line 56, in testPartExecutor yield File "/Users/db3l/buildarea/3.x.bolen-tiger/build/Lib/unittest/case.py", line 528, in doCleanups function(*args, **kwargs) ValueError: not allowed to raise maximum limit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Basically, we can't restore RLIMIT_NOFILE to its original value (from the cleanup callback): since this works on Ned's machine, I assume this has been fixed in recent OS X versions. So I'll restore the requires_mac_vers() decorator.

Alright, it should be fixed now, thanks for the report.
