[Python-Dev] epoll implementation

[Guido van Rossum]

I don't know what epoll is.

On a related note, perhaps the needforspeed folks should look into
supporting kqueue on systems where it's available? That's a really
fast BSD-originated API to replace select/poll. (It's fast due to the
way the API is designed.)
