Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Looks good! Could you also add docs to https://docs.python.org/3/using/configure.html (maybe a new System Options?) and to https://docs.python.org/3/library/select.html#select.epoll?

Or let me know if you want me to do that.

@mtelka: Would it make sense to detect illumos in configure and disable epoll support on this OS?

Yes, it would. However I'm not sure it is worth doing.

I tested the change on Linux:

$ ./configure --disable-epoll && make
$ ./python
>>> import select
>>> select.epoll
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-1>", line 1, in <module>
    select.epoll
AttributeError: module 'select' has no attribute 'epoll'. Did you mean '.poll' instead of '.epoll'?

It works as expected :-)
