class NoPollMixIn:
    '''This is a mix-in class to override the function serve_forever()
    and shutdown() in class socketserver.BaseServer.

    As commented in the module source code,  serve_forever() in
    socketserver.BaseServer uses polling for a shutdown request, which
    "reduces the responsiveness to a shutdown request and wastes cpu at
    all other times."

    This class fixes this problem by introducing internal message
    passing via a separate socket. Note, however, that according to
    the module documentation serve_forever() and shutdown() are not
    categorized as functions that can be overridden via mix-ins.  So
    this mix-in class may not be compatible with future versions of
    socketserver.  It should be considered a short term workaround
    until the original implementation is fixed.

    The NoPollMixIn class should be used together with
    socketserver.BaseServer or some derived classes of it, and it must
    be placed before the corresponding socketserver class.  In
    addition, the constructor of this mix-in must be called
    explicitly in the derived class.  For example, a basic TCP server
    without the problem of polling is created as follows:

       class MyServer(NoPollMixIn, socketserver.TCPServer):
           def __init__(...):
               ...
               NoPollMixIn.__init__(self)
               ...

    To shutdown the server correctly, the serve_forever() method must
    be run in a separate thread, and shutdown() must be called from
    some other thread.

    def __init__(self):
        self.__read_sock, self.__write_sock = socket.socketpair()
        self._is_shut_down = threading.Event()

    def serve_forever(self, poll_interval=None):
        ''' Overrides the serve_forever([poll_interval]) in class
        socketserver.BaseServer.

        It uses a socketpair to wake up the select when shutdown() is
        called in anther thread.  Note, parameter 'poll_interval' is
        just used for interface compatibility; it's never used in this
        function.
