Different operating systems provide different ways to wait for I/O completion
|
|
events: there's select(), poll(), epoll() and kqueue(). For cross-platform
|
|
applications it can be a pain to support all this system functions, especially
|
|
because each one provides a different interface.
|
|
|
|
IOWait solves this problem by providing a unified interface and using always
|
|
the best and faster function available in the platform. Its only limitation is
|
|
that, on Windows, it only works for sockets.
|
|
|
|
This library is compatible both with Python 2 and 3.
