Is this currently being written from scratch? It shouldn't be IMO. Instead I recommend using the existent Tornado or pyftpdlib IO loop as an example: https://github.com/facebook/tornado/tree/master/tornado/platform https://github.com/facebook/tornado/blob/master/tornado/ioloop.py#L544 http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/source/browse/trunk/pyftpdlib/ioloop.py?spec=svn1144&r=1135#266 ...and modify the central polling method so that it returns a list of (fd, events) instead of calling handler methods. Everything (except Windows support) is already in place and they have been tested extensively. Exploring this into Tulip would be important IMO, as it would help figuring out whether the API is good enough to support what this component aims to achieve: being a generic poller upon which to build async IO loops.
