Things as maximum number of file descriptors and generally speaking IO
operations and their limits are matters of the underlying OS, not of the
programming language itself. So show us a way in another language, and then
we can tell you how to do that in python.

And while using threads to wait for file IO is tempting, its a waste of
resources.
