For cross-platform applications it can be a pain to support all this system functions, especially because each one provides a different interface. . IOWait solves this problem by providing a unified interface and using always the best and faster function available in the platform. Its only limitation is that, on Windows, it only works for sockets. . This package provides the module for Python 3.
