Woo! I'd be happy to code this up. First I'd like to get a feel for the prefered way of getting this integrated. Would people rather see: 1) Provide an epoll implementation which is used "silently" when the call is available. 2) Expose both poll(2) and epoll(4) in python and build select.poll on top of whatever is available. Ok, so 2 is only different in that it exposes the lower level APIs. I'd like to know if that's what people want.
