+"""
+Provides an asynchronous multi-socket selector with a poll method
+built on top of select.select for cross-platform compatibility.
+
+After polling select, two events are emitted for each socket and kind-of-ready,
+``select_<kind>`` and ``select_<kind>_<sock.fileno()>``, where
+``<kind>`` is one of ``recv, send, err``.
+
+The event payload is always the fileno of the corresponding socket.
+(The event plugin deep-copies the payload, but sockets are not serializable)
+
+Note that the event loop is stopped during selecting. This is good in that
+the loop does not consume 100% CPU, but it means you have to register
+at least a slow timer if you do stuff on ``event_tick`` and
+expect it to be emitted frequently.
