[New-bugs-announce] [issue19336] No API to get events from epoll without allocating a list

[Alex Gaynor]

New submission from Alex Gaynor:

select.epoll should expose an api such as `iterpoll` which returns an iterator over the ready events, rather than a list. Allocating a list is wasteful in many cases (e.g. twisted's event loop) and it'd be nice to have an API that was less wasteful.
