Answer 1

After I move select.EPOLLHUP handling code to the line before select.EPOLLIN, hup event still cant be got in 'telnet'. But by coincidence I found that if I use my own client script, there are hup events! strange...

And according to man epoll_ctl

   EPOLLRDHUP (since Linux 2.6.17)
          Stream socket peer closed connection, or shut down writing half of connection.  (This flag is especially useful for writing simple code  to
          detect peer shutdown when using Edge Triggered monitoring.)

   EPOLLERR
          Error  condition  happened on the associated file descriptor.  epoll_wait(2) will always wait for this event; it is not necessary to set it
          in events.

   EPOLLHUP
          Hang up happened on the associated file descriptor.  epoll_wait(2) will always wait for this event; it  is  not  necessary  to  set  it  in
          events.

Seems there shall be a EPOLLRDHUP event when remote side closed connection, which is not implemented by python, don't know why
