-\section{Built-in Module \module{select}}
-\label{module-select}
-\bimodindex{select}
-
-This module provides access to the function \cfunction{select()}
-available in most \UNIX{} versions.  It defines the following:
-
-\begin{excdesc}{error}
-The exception raised when an error occurs.  The accompanying value is
-a pair containing the numeric error code from \cdata{errno} and the
-corresponding string, as would be printed by the \C{} function
-\cfunction{perror()}.
-\end{excdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{select}{iwtd, owtd, ewtd\optional{, timeout}}
-This is a straightforward interface to the \UNIX{} \cfunction{select()}
-system call.  The first three arguments are lists of `waitable
-objects': either integers representing \UNIX{} file descriptors or
-objects with a parameterless method named \method{fileno()} returning
-such an integer.  The three lists of waitable objects are for input,
-output and `exceptional conditions', respectively.  Empty lists are
-allowed.  The optional \var{timeout} argument specifies a time-out as a
-floating point number in seconds.  When the \var{timeout} argument
-is omitted the function blocks until at least one file descriptor is
-ready.  A time-out value of zero specifies a poll and never blocks.
-
-The return value is a triple of lists of objects that are ready:
-subsets of the first three arguments.  When the time-out is reached
-without a file descriptor becoming ready, three empty lists are
-returned.
-
-Amongst the acceptable object types in the lists are Python file
-objects (e.g. \code{sys.stdin}, or objects returned by
-\function{open()} or \function{os.popen()}), socket objects
-returned by \function{socket.socket()},%
-\withsubitem{(in module socket)}{\ttindex{socket()}}
-\withsubitem{(in module posix)}{\ttindex{popen()}}
-\withsubitem{(in module os)}{\ttindex{popen()}}
-and the module \module{stdwin}\refbimodindex{stdwin} which happens to
-define a function \function{fileno()}%
-\withsubitem{(in module stdwin)}{\ttindex{fileno()}}
-for just this purpose.  You may
-also define a \dfn{wrapper} class yourself, as long as it has an
-appropriate \method{fileno()} method (that really returns a \UNIX{}
-file descriptor, not just a random integer).
-\end{funcdesc}
