does python have, or has anyone written any libraries, to support linux aio in python?

Get a large list here, no personal experience with any of these

Aside from asyncio?  Or do you mean actually fileio, but asyncronously?  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aiofiles seems neat, and is 100% so could be an interesting way to learn how to use asyncio.

i'm not yet sure of what all i will need.  there will be 3 forked child processes with pipes the i need to read asynchronously ... that is i need to read them when the process writes/prints.  i don't know if asynchronous filesystem i/o is needed, yet.  if i need to do filesystem i/o then it will at least need to be interleaved with other i/o so it will need to use calls that allow it.
