Gladly.
In my mind, 'better packaging' is not "just" about something that will let

internals I'm publishing under the collective title "Guido's Python"* (
http://tech.blog.aknin.name/tag/guidos-python/). Three articles already were
published already, more are planned (mainly focused on CPython/py3k, b

will raise an uncaught exception due to EINTR. The proposed solution
was to wrap SocketServer's select() with something like twisted's
untilConcludes function, whic
