描述
The selectors module API is deliberately very narrow:
- The
register()/modify()methods only accepteventsas a bitmask ofEVENT_READ|EVENT_WRITE - The
select()method only ever returns combinations ofEVENT_READ|EVENT_WRITE
This design makes it impossible to use many platform-specific events provided by the underlying OS APIs (poll, epoll, kqueue). For example, https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/79698 describes a use case for EPOLLEXCLUSIVE on Linux. The biggest missed opportunity, however, is the inability to fully exploit kqueue() on BSD / macOS, which would allow async handling of regular files, signals, and others (see KQ_EVENT_*).
This limitation is relevant for asyncio, which uses the selectors module. For instance, on BSD / macOS, asyncio could be notified when a process terminates, enabling an optimization similar to https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/144047. Currenly asyncio on Linux already takes advantage of this approach via os.pidfd_open() + selectors.PollSelector (see source), but can't do the same for BSD / macOS because selectors.KqueueSelector doesn't allow registering custom select.kevent() objects.
Whereas it would be relatively easy to add a register_kevent() method, or to pass EPOLL* events directly to register(), it's less clear how the select() method should behave in this case, since it's apparently bound to the promise of returning either EVENT_READ or EVENT_WRITE.

调研方向
先从 selectors 模块 API 入手,重点查看 KqueueSelector、PollSelector、register()、modify() 和 select(),然后阅读 select.kevent 以及 Lib/asyncio/unix_events.py 中 857-891 行附近的 asyncio 使用场景。确定平台特定事件应如何注册以及如何由 select() 表示;完成的标准是形成一个确定的 API 设计,在不破坏现有 read/write 契约的情况下支持所引用的 OS 事件。
