This is expected behaviour. On java, and thus on jython, only sockets can be selected upon. Files cannot be selected upon, because the FileChannels underlying "file descriptors" on jython do not subclass java.nio.channels.SelectableChannel. I have updated the documentation on the select module wiki page to make this more explicitly clear. http://wiki.python.org/jython/SelectModule#Onlysocketscanbemultiplexed.2CnotfilesoranyotherIOchannel
