poll(3) doesn't work for all types of filedescriptors on OSX.
Specifically:
BUGS
The poll() system call currently does not support devices.
(That's from the manpage of poll). This is why Apple doesn't expose
select.poll in their build of Python.
I haven't used select.poll myself and therefore don't know if the issues
with the poll system call are serious enough to warrant hiding
select.poll on OSX.
