"Just to be explicit (there are typos in Victor's original messages): it's about select.devpoll, for Solaris-derivatives with /dev/poll, and not for select.poll, based on poll() syscall."

Oops sorry, yes, I'm talking about select.devpoll, its structure has a "int fd_devpoll;" field:

typedef struct {
    PyObject_HEAD
    int fd_devpoll;
    int max_n_fds;
    int n_fds;
    struct pollfd *fds;
} devpollObject;
