Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorDaemonize, twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

A reactor that uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2) and relies on Python 2.6 or higher which has built in support for kqueue in the select module.

Method __init__ Initialize kqueue object, file descriptor tracking dictionaries, and the base class.
Method beforeDaemonize Implement IReactorDaemonize.beforeDaemonize.
Method afterDaemonize Implement IReactorDaemonize.afterDaemonize.
Method addReader Implement IReactorFDSet.addReader.
Method addWriter Implement IReactorFDSet.addWriter.
Method removeReader Implement IReactorFDSet.removeReader.
Method removeWriter Implement IReactorFDSet.removeWriter.
Method removeAll Implement IReactorFDSet.removeAll.
Method getReaders Implement IReactorFDSet.getReaders.
Method getWriters Implement IReactorFDSet.getWriters.
Method doKEvent Poll the kqueue for new events.
Instance Variable _kq A kqueue which will be used to check for I/O readiness.
Instance Variable _selectables A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to instances of FileDescriptor which have been registered with the reactor. All FileDescriptors which are currently receiving read or write readiness notifications will be present as values in this dictionary.
Instance Variable _reads A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with _kq for read readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.
Instance Variable _writes A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with _kq for write readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.
Method _updateRegistration Private method for changing kqueue registration on a given FD filtering for events given filter/op. This will never block and returns nothing.
Method _doWriteOrRead Private method called when a FD is ready for reading, writing or was lost. Do the work and raise errors where necessary.
