Description

When trying to use imaplib2.py3 for python 3 on windows I get the following error.

14:55.51 MainThread imaplib2 version 3.05

After a day of troubleshooting I think the source of the problem is _reader function.
It is (if I understand correctly) defined 2 ways - if hasattr(select_module, "poll") for linux or the other one for windows.
So I tried the same code on WSL and it worked fine.

This leads me to believe that there is some error in the version of _reader for windows (the one not using poll).
