Python libev interface.

libev is an event loop: you register interest in certain events (such as a file

descriptor being readable or a timeout occurring), and it will manage these

event sources and provide your program with events.

To do this, it must take more or less complete control over your process (or

thread) by executing the event loop handler, and will then communicate events

via a callback mechanism.

You register interest in certain events by registering so-called event watchers,

which you initialise with the details of the event, and then hand over to libev

by starting the watcher.

libev supports ``select``, ``poll``, the Linux-specific ``epoll``, the

BSD-specific ``kqueue`` and the Solaris-specific ``event port`` mechanisms for

file descriptor events (:py:class:`Io`), Linux ``eventfd``/``signalfd`` (for

faster and cleaner inter-thread wakeup (:py:class:`Async`)/signal handling

(:py:class:`Signal`)), relative timers (:py:class:`Timer`), absolute timers

(:py:class:`Periodic`), timers with customised rescheduling

(:py:class:`Scheduler`), synchronous signals (:class:`Signal`), process status

change events (:py:class:`Child`), and event watchers dealing with the event

loop mechanism itself (:py:class:`Idle`, :py:class:`Embed`, :py:class:`Prepare`

and :py:class:`Check` watchers) and even limited support

for fork events (:py:class:`Fork`).

It also is quite `fast `_.

libev is written and maintained by Marc Lehmann.
