> Hmm, is there a way to get the current number of open file descriptors? Under Unix, you can use resource.getrlimit(): (1024, 1024) But 1024 is a very common value, so you could simply loop 1024 times if it's not too slow. Besides, you definitely don't want to loop 231 times if 231 happens to be the current limit.

Under Unix, you can use resource.getrlimit():

(1024, 1024)

But 1024 is a very common value, so you could simply loop 1024 times if
it's not too slow.
Besides, you definitely don't want to loop 2**31 times if 2**31 happens
to be the current limit.
