python27: poll call is broken on 10.12

As reported in ​https://bugs.python.org/issue28456 and rdar://28372390 as well as ​https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/10/11/poll-on-mac-10-12-is-broken/ Apple broke the poll() call again in Sierra resulting in failures in the python test suite at...

Since the configure in python 2.7.12 doesn't have fine enough control to eliminate the usage of the poll() calls, I resorted to...

		perl -pi -e 's|\#define HAVE_POLL 1||' ./pyconfig.h
		perl -pi -e 's|\#define HAVE_POLL_H 1||g' ./pyconfig.h
		perl -pi -e 's|\#define HAVE_SYS_POLL_H 1||g' ./pyconfig.h

post-configure which allowed fink's python27 package to successfully pass 'make check'. MacPorts will need similar hack for the 10.12 python package builds.

This only affects python27, or also older and newer versions of python?

​https://bugs.python.org/issue28087 says this was fixed in 10.12.2.
