  Tornado has its own C wrapper around epoll ( http://github.com/facebook/tornado/blob/9e24ae162d024e4049b8811d7ca19e319c20021d/tornado/epoll.c http://github.com/facebook/tornado/blob/9e24ae162d024e4049b8... ), but falls back to select() if the wrapper can't be compiled.

    It will also use Python 2.6's native epoll (see line 326 of http://github.com/facebook/tornado/blob/9a8bd2fb6fd6279be16d6f0a2e57e49fe1b98f8f/tornado/ioloop.py http://github.com/facebook/tornado/blob/9a8bd2fb6fd6279be16d...)

      Does this mean Python's own HTTPServer uses epoll starting v2.6?
