wepoll 0.3.1

Cython adaptation of the wepoll C Library providing epoll selectors to windows

PyWepoll

A Python Port of the wepoll C Library meant to help give windows support for epoll objects in python. Code was based on CPython's implementation mixed with the old _epoll.pyx twisted source code. (If I can refind it I'll try to archive it for someone to look through.)

How this project came to be

Originally this was C Library was going to be utilized in winloop for dealing with UVPoll objects but the idea was scrapped when I didn't realize that the License was actually MIT LICENSE Friendly and I was still a bit of a noob at low-level coding. Knowing about this project for a couple of years I wanted to experiemnt with it using cyares to see if it would help with polling sockets if needed to be done manually without socket handles or event-threads to see if it would provide one of the slowest Operating Systems a little performance boost over the standard select function that python provides.

Currently as is the library is experimental and I wouldn't call it beta or production ready yet unlike cyares which is in it's beta phase and does a really good job performance-wise. The Code is based off the old twisted module
