Rather than adding yet another platform-dependent module, I'd like to see a unified Python interface in the stdlib that uses whichever is the best one available.

Of course that would mean establishing which was the best available which, as we've seen this week, may not be easy.

There is a C aync event notification library called libevent which wraps kqueue, epoll, /dev/poll etc and provides a unified interface (See http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/).
