   \function{poll()} call, measured in seconds; the default is 30 seconds.
   The \var{use_poll} parameter, if true, indicates that \function{poll()}
   should be used in preference to \function{select()} (the default is
-  \code{False}).  The \var{map} parameter is a dictionary whose items are

-  than override, \method{__init__()} if you want to retain this behavior).

   Channels (instances of \class{asyncore.dispatcher}, \class{asynchat.async_chat}
