http://docs.python.org/dev/library/select.html#id1

Docs say: "select.control(changelist, max_events=0[, timeout=None])"
However, control requires 2 params ("TypeError: control() takes at least
2 arguments (1 given)").

Also, it should be "kqueue" not "select" (There are 2 more like this
"epoll.fromfd(fd)" in the kqueue section, "select.kqueue(ident,
filter=KQ_FILTER_READ, flags=KQ_ADD, fflags=0, data=0, udata=0)" instead
of "select.kevent( ... ")

Attached a documentation patch, including the kqueue.control function 
docstring.

But I wonder if the code was incorrect instead - both the 
documentation and the function docstring specified a default value for 
max_events=0, and the corresponding variable was initialized to 0.
Perhaps the author meant to use PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O|
iO:control",...) instead of the current "Oi|O:control"

Committed patch in r66523. At least for now, code and docs are
consistent again.
