+        Create a new event object with the given parameters.
+        
+        An event tracks a single OS file descriptor with some set of events (EV_READ/EV_WRITE) and an optional timeout.
+        
+        An event is associated with some event_base, which handles the event mechanism.
+        
+        Arguments:
+            base        - event_base to use for this event
+            fd          - OS file descriptor to watch, or -1
+            events      - bitmask of EV_* flags that represents the events to wait for
+
+        When the event fires, it will "call" this event object, so __call__ gets the following parameters:
+            fd          - OS file descriptor the event occured on, or -1
+            mask        - bitmask of EV_* flags that represents the triggered event
+    
+        The default implementation of __call__ does nothing. The method's return value will be ignored, and should be
+        None. Any errors raised by the callback will be printed out as warning messages, and ignored.
