I think removing all mention of “None” is a step too far. The “devpoll”, “epoll”, and “poll” documentation all say that “None” is acceptable for the timeout. Only the “select” function doesn’t say this.

What about adding to the text:

* “timeout” in seconds (floats possible); the default is “None”, to wait forever
