So, how can I use kqueue/kevent on BSD/Mac using Python?

@xmo-odoo you are right.

@ishworgurung
handle_connection is blocking due to the recv(), send() methods of the server socket is blocking, can we avoid using thread to fix this blocking, and just use non-blocking sockets for recv(), send() in this context?
