What I would like to see is a module that provides a low-level API for doing cross-platform asynchronous IO. The two necessary parts are:
* a wrapper that allows non-blocking reads and writes on channels (sockets, file descriptors, serial ports, etc)
For starters, since py3k is supposed to support non-blocking IO, why not write a portable API to make a raw file or socket IO object non-blocking? (I'm only suggesting it here, I don't intend to do this myself)
