Ondřej reported that when compiled with python3, the python extension
regresses in evlist.get_pollfd function behaviour.
The evlist.get_pollfd function creates file objects from evlist's fds
and returns them in a list. The python3 version also sets them to 'close
the original descriptor' when the object dies (is closed), by passing
True via the 'closefd' arg in the PyFile_FromFd call.
The python's closefd doc says:
If closefd is False, the underlying file descriptor will be kept open
when the file is closed.
That's why the following line in python3 closes all evlist fds:
evlist.get_pollfd()
the returned list is immediately destroyed and that takes down the
original events fds.
Passing closefd as False to PyFile_FromFd to fix this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
