I’ve been using ZyreEvent but since it’s blocking I need a working Zpoller :(

Ok, I’ll look into that. We were experiencing some odd behaviour with Pyre that’s why I switched to the binding provided in Zyre. I’ll see if I can combine this with PyCZMQ, which used ffi, rather than the python binding in czmq, which using ctypes.
