Good evening!

I've three patches in the bug tracker which are ready but I like to get
 approval before I submit them.

http://bugs.python.org/issue1657
Wrapper for epoll and kqueue sys calls for Python 2.6 and 3.0. I've
worked together with therve from the Twisted team.

http://bugs.python.org/issue1640
Enhancements for the math module. The latest patch just adds isnan(),
isinf() and sign() to the math module.

http://bugs.python.org/issue1567
The patch adds a new API function _PyImport_ImportModuleNoLock(char
*name). It first tries to get the module from sys.modules and falls back
to PyImport_ImportModule unless the import lock is hold. In the latter
case it raises an exception to prevent a dead lock. It solves a problem
with imports from C code and threads.
