So kqueue was improved in OS X Maverick (10.9).

The workaround is not so easy:
---
import sys, platform
if sys.platform == 'darwin':
version_txt = platform.mac_ver()[0]
version = tuple(map(int, version_txt.split('.')))
if version < (10, 9):
import selectors, asyncio
from asyncio.unix_events import SelectorEventLoop
selector = selectors.SelectSelector()
asyncio.set_event_loop(SelectorEventLoop(selector))
---
What do you think of the opposite? Use select.select() on OS X < 10.9
by default, but explain how to force select.epoll if you don't care of
PTY?
This discussion remembers me a Python issue proposing to add a
function to get the best selector depending on different criteria like
"don't use a file descriptor for the poller" (use poll instead of
epoll).
FYI Apple provides the Maverick upgrade for free (!) for Mac OS X
users. I will upgrade my iMac (which currently runs Mac OS 10.6.8) :-)
