Bug #123225, was updated on 2000-Nov-22 20:41

Summary: asyncore.py should use select.poll(), not "import poll"

Details: The Python2.0 asyncore module is able to use the poll system
call
(claimed to be much more efficient than select for large numbers of
requests),
however, it tries to "import poll", which fails (there is no pollmodule
supplied with Python2.0), whereas it could
use the poll available with the select module (select.poll()).

Comment:
A patch to use Python 2.0's select.poll() has been sent off to the
medusa@egroups.com mailing list.  Assuming the patch is accepted, this bug
will be fixed when we pick up the latest version of asyncore.py before
Python 2.1 is finalized.
