Why can't I use select & threads?  You mean that if a platform does not support monotonic clocks it also does not support threads and select sys call?

Python 3.3 now uses time.steady(strict=False) in the threading and queue modules. If we replace it by time.steady(strict=True), you may get an error if your platform doesn't provide a monotonic clock and so you cannot use these modules.
