If you have a working select(), it will tell you the sockets on which read() and write() won't block, so non-blocking reads and writes are not necessary.
No, but there should be an interface that lets you say "when something comes in on this fd, call this function for me".
In other words it should be a light wrapper around select/poll/whatever that provides a callback interface.
A read callback, a write callback. What about close, error, connect, and accept callbacks? I hate to say it (not really), but that's pretty much the handle_*() methods of asyncore :/ . - Josiah
