Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Regular are left behind because select() won't work on them. However we do 
support certain file descriptors (e.g. pipes) and it makes sense to support 
device "files". Can you come up with a new API that lets you pass a file 
descriptor and wrap it in a stream?
