Yes, i did the same in my linux box and got:

Python 2.0.1 (#0, Jun 23 2001, 23:50:30)
[GCC 2.95.4 20010319 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import select
 >>> dir(select)
['POLLERR', 'POLLHUP', 'POLLIN', 'POLLMSG', 'POLLNVAL', 'POLLOUT', 
'POLLPRI', 'POLLRDBAND', 'POLLRDNORM', 'POLLWRBAND', 'POLLWRNORM', 
'__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'error', 'poll', 'select']
 >>>

so, another question: is bsd sockets the only networking interface Windows 
has? doesnt it have a win32socketlib ( :) ) or something like that?

and deeper again, (for pygame people), does the networking code from 
directx use bsd sockets? or what?

danke.
