pyuv is a Python module which provides an interface to libuv. libuv (http://github.com/joyent/libuv) is a high performance asynchronous networking library, used as the platform layer for NodeJS (http://nodejs.org).
libuv is written and maintained by Joyent Inc. and contributors. It’s built on top of libev and libeio on Unix and IOCP on Windows systems providing a consistent API on top of them.
pyuv’s features:
Non-blocking TCP sockets
Non-blocking named pipes
UDP support (including multicast)
Timers
Child process spawning
Asynchronous DNS resolver
Asynchronous file system APIs
High resolution time
System memory information
System CPUs information
Network interfaces information
Thread pool scheduling
ANSI escape code controlled TTY
File system events (inotify style)
IPC and TCP socket sharing between processes
Arbitrary file descriptor polling

Building
Linux:
./build_inplace
Mac OSX:
(XCode needs to be installed) export CC="gcc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk" export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ./build_inplace
Microsoft Windows:
(MinGW and MSYS need to be installed) ./build_inplace --compiler=mingw32
Running the test suite
There are several ways of running the test ruite:
Running individual tests:
Go inside the tests/ directory and run the test, for example: python test_tcp.py
Run the test with the current Python interpreter:
From the toplevel directory, run: nosetests -v -w tests/
Use Tox to run the test suite in several virtualenvs with several interpreters
From the toplevel directory, run: tox -e py26,py27,py32 this will run the test suite on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2 (you’ll need to have them installed beforehand)
