Did you look at the python-epoll module which has been in the Cheese Shop for quite some time? There is no messing with a low level control file descriptor and it presents an identical interface to select.poll(). I would claim this whole new interface: > epoll interface > > >>> ep = select.epoll(1) > >>> ep.register(fd, select.EPOLL_IN | select.EPOLL_OUT) > >>> ep.modify(fd, select.EPOLL_OUT) > >>> events = ep.wait(1, 1000) > >>> ep.unregister(fd) Is a greater burden on the user than: >>> import epoll as select I would also claim that adding a new interface to accomplish the same task is not more pythonic. But I did write the python-epoll module in question, so I may be a bit biased. Ross
