New submission from Steve Ford:
The short description of epoll.poll is correct (gives timeout unit as seconds
[float]; includes maxevents). However, the long description lists the timeout
units as milliseconds ("If timeout is given, it specifies the length of time in
milliseconds which the system will wait for events before returning."), and
does not include maxevents at all.
See https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/select.html#select.poll.poll
