http://python-hpio.net/trac/wiki/LibEventPython libevent-python is a CPython wrapper extension for Niels Provos' libevent, a small, fast asynchronous IO framework that supports select(), poll(), kqueue(), /dev/poll, and epoll(). Libevent can be found here http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ and it explains the advantages of epoll/kqueue over select/poll. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
