One part which can be improved is that right now the selectors module doesn't take advance of e/poll()'s modify() method: instead it just unregister() and register() the fd every time, which is of course considerably slower (there's also a TODO in the code about this). I guess that can be fixed later in a safely manner. Another concern I have is that we should probably rename self._epoll, self._select, self._kqueue to just "self._poller": that would make subclassing easier (see patch in issue http://bugs.python.org/issue18931) and would provide a unified interface for those users who want to reference the underlying poller object for some reason. -- Giampaolo - http://grodola.blogspot.com
