Oh, yeah, I was wondering about that, since there aren't separate 
distributions of Python for Vista vs. XP etc.  But I wonder if Python could 
just give an attribute error, or perhaps some other error, for select.poll 
if it's not running on Vista, perhaps some kind of run-time detection if 
it's vista or if wsapoll is available?  or even an installation time thing? 
Since there's nothing promising that select.poll will work on windows 
anyway.  or does it just not work like that? :e

although a third party module would be nice too (if anyone out there has 
vista..:)
