does anyone run this on windows 7?

I have gnuplot(which is on my PATH environment places), but

E:\greensoft\math\gnuplot\bin>set path=E:\greensoft\math\gnuplot\bin;%path%

E:\greensoft\math\gnuplot\bin>gnuplot --version
gnuplot 5.1 patchlevel 0

Hi. I do not use Windows. If you want to debug this, we can talk about merging whatever patches you come up with. But I'm afraid that's all I can offer. dima

[retsyo]

well, I found which caused this problem on windows

>>> print select.select.__doc__
select(rlist, wlist, xlist[, timeout]) -> (rlist, wlist, xlist)

Thanks for tracking down. I'm using a select() to get a blocking read()
that times out after some amount of time has elapsed without any data
being read. Do you know how to get this in Windows?

Windows support will only happen if somebody-not-me implements it. This report has gone untouched for 3 years, so this reporter also isn't the person who's going to implement it, and I'm closing this issue. There's a work in progress here: #15
