Am I correct in thinking that you're simply replacing the OSError(EINTR) with returning empty lists? This is bound to subtly break code, e.g. the code that expects reasonably that a return value of three empty lists means the timeout really ran out (i.e. the version of the code that is already the most careful). Shouldn't you restart the poll with the remaining time until timeout?
