  Neat.  There has been a level-triggered epoll reactor in my sandbox for some time, but I was never able to get the edge triggered version to work.

  Hmm, running the Twisted test suite with this version doesn't do too well either.  A few tests fail here and there before it gets totally wedged on 
twisted.test.test_pb.ConnectionTestCase.testIdentityConnector.

  You can try this yourself by adding an entry for this reactor to the dictionary at the top of twisted.application.app, then running "trial -R -r epoll twisted", where "epoll" is the key you add to that dict.
