What

pyev2 is Python C extension wrapper around libev.

This module is heavily based (initially copy-pasted) on pyev library by Malek Hadj-Ali.

Differences:

• pyev2 supports Python2, while pyev is Py3k only
• no libev patches, no libev source in pyev2 source tree
• no implicit ev_default_destroy() because it led to crashes in some cases. Use ev2.destroy_default() if you know what you're doing.
• some integer sign fixes
• watcher .active, .pending attributes have 'is' prefix (.is_active, .is_pending)
• __version__ contains only pyev2 version. ev2.libev_version attribute has libev headers version
• abi_version is module attribute (function in pyev)
• docutils (rst2html) friendly doc-strings
• types defined in separate .h file
• @null@ and @unused@ splint annotations (doesn't help much, actually)
