Poll doesn't make sense here. The data in /proc/loadavg data is not text
data that gets updated periodically. There is no file on disk somewhere
called /proc/loadavg. Instead, reading /proc/loadavg causes a call into a
kernel driver, and reads data directly from variables stored in the kernel.
The data is ALWAYS available.
If you want the data once a second, just do it the easy way:
import time
while True:
print open('/proc/loadavg').read()
time.sleep(1)
