This assumes something equivalent to the library will have to be written.
But if it can be replaced with something very minimalistic it is just
bloat. I would also like to respond that the select module and pywin32 are
libraries. So what we are talking about here is not using a library versus
issuing low-level system calls, but using a cross-platform library instead
of having separate modules with system calls for Linux, *BSD/Apple and
Windows.

Another thing is that co-routines and "yield from" statements just makes it
hard to follow the logic of the program. I still have to convince myself
that a library for transforming epoll function calls into co-routines is
actually useful. If it just turns otherwise readable code into something
most Python programmers cannot read it is better left out of the project.
