select.poll isn't supported on Windows, because Windows doesn't have such a 
feature, or at least it didn't until Vista.  Vista implements the same thing 
but called  WSAPoll, an article is here

I hope that the next edition of Python supports select.poll on Vista, or at 
least that someone writes a third-party module fo it. As much as I'd love to 
do it myself, it's probably beyond me.. i've never used poll before nor 
written a Python extension.  also, i don't have Vista.
Thanks
