I'm missing a bit of context. Ivan is correct that we probably

Sorry, I misread Will's message and thought the interpreter was doing
something stupid. Will's actual complaint is with end-user behavior, not
the Python core, and there's a set of good python inotify bindings that
we could be using to avoid the issue:

Will, would you file a bug in Trac about using inotify, and attach a
list of places you see us polling currently?
Thanks,
There is a bug filed for this specific one, trac #1189. I will keep my eye open
for others.
I would think that the goal is to avoid polling where possible on olpc so the
processor can be in the halted state for longer periods of time.
