That's correct. PyKqueue should build on OS X, but so far gcc 3.3 is 
giving me fits (even after hacking the makefile a couple of times). 
PyKqueue doesn't seem to have seen active maintenance since about 
2000-2001, but is reported to still work.

As for doing the libevent reactor, the odds are very high that 
libevent exposes sane semantics for what we need, and that writing a 
reactor for it is the same effort (or lower) as writing an epoll 
reactor. Whichever one Joyce chooses to go with is fine by me. Either 
way we get coverage of all the OSes we need (collectively) need.

Regards.
