[New-bugs-announce] [issue29332] Uniform SelectSelector._select behavior

[Wen Adam]

New submission from Wen Adam:

SelectSelector._select is differently on different platforms.

On win32, SelectSelector._select is a unbound/bound method and pass instance as the first argument, but on *nix, SelectSelector._select is a builtin_function_or_method(Although self.select still works)

If someone want to replace(or patch) select, he must implement two select function(one is a function, the other is a instance method), 
Otherwise you will get「TypeError: select() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given)」.

And I think make built-in funtion(like len, select.select) as a class attr/method is a black magic(it's still a function) and hard to maintain
