It seems gevent automatically sets blocking behaviour on fds produced by
the socket module, which causes the Python process we fork to fail
horribly. So in the child, always reset the blocking flag.
Although these are synonyms in Python 2.x, when using MyPy to typecheck
code use of file() causes spurious errors.
This commit also serves as one small step to Python 3.x compatibility,
since 3.x removes the file() builtin.
e.g. assert x == y -> self.assertEqual(x, y);
self.assertTrue(isinstance(x, y)) -> self.assertIsInstance(x, y)
These specific methods give more useful errors in the case of a test
failure.
We use test.sh to consolidate test cases in one file so the README
would not be outdated easier rather than the hard-coded test commands
in a code block.
On my laptop (Ubuntu 17.10, Python 2.7.14 in a virtualenv),
`test_regular_mod` fails with
```

`__file__` contains the path of the compiled `.pyc`, not the `.py`
source file.
Since the above if block ends in a call to os.execv() this block will
only ever run when the if condition was false. Hence putting it in an
else clause is unnecessary.
