## Module twisted.internet.kqreactor

    A kqueue()/kevent() based implementation of the Twisted main loop.

    To install the event loop (and you should do this before any connections,
    listeners or connectors are added)::

        | from twisted.internet import kqreactor
        | kqreactor.install()

    This reactor only works on FreeBSD and requires PyKQueue 1.3, which is
    available at:  U{http://people.freebsd.org/~dwhite/PyKQueue/}

    API Stability: stable

    Maintainer: U{Itamar Shtull-Trauring<mailto:twisted@itamarst.org>}

    You're going to need to patch PyKqueue:
