Right now it uses "except Exception: ...; raise" which does not take KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit into account, leaving the fd in a bad state (it's not unregister()ed).

I removed 3.4 from versions, since this is not a security fix.

Does this need backport to 3.5 too? 
Or only 3.6?

Look also at KqueueSelector.modify(). And the mentioning of SystemError in Misc/NEWS is wrong, it is a subclass of Exception.

I guess that he means SystemExit ;-)

My apologies. The Misc/NEWS entry is correct. But only 2 of 3 "except Exception" are fixed.

I see that on 3.6 except BaseException: is used, so the backport should not be necessary.
