it.s under OSX.. sorry.. close or maybe add wrong platform exception

[dsoprea]

Interesting. Our unit-tests stop at 3.5 so we missed this. Can you investigate?

I was trying to run gunicorn under docker linux image on Darwin platform (OSX), gunicorn with --reload feature

"epoll" is linux only. I have a patch to use "selectors" module when using Python >=3.4. This way this library run under SmartOS (a Solaris derivative).

filesystem notifications are highly unportable. MacOS X will surely provide a similar interface but the details are most probably different. In my case, SmartOS provides a linux inotify compatibility layer beside their native filesystem notification, so I can use this library with a half a dozen of line changes.

@dsoprea , are you interested in my patches?. Currently they only work on Python >=3.4, but I could do a Python 2 compatible version.

Excuse me,

I used this library on Linux & python3.5, but same error was occurred... Are there other required packages? And, are there any samples about epoll?

[rkmrHonjo]

Really sorry, my above comment was caused by my code... Please ignore it.

[dsoprea]

Patches are welcome.
