Do you mean setting stdin in non-blocking mode ? On unix you can do it with
the fcntl module (you'll find more infos in the libc docs) :
fcntl.fcntl(sys.stdin, fcntl.F_SETFL, os.O_NONBLOCK)
and catch IOErrors with errno = EAGAIN. But I don't know how to do it in a
portable way, suggestions welcome :)

Thanks for the advice that's a way of solving my problem, but I really
need a portable way of doing it...
The application I’m build is meant to be run in more platforms than
Unix ... so I really need a portable way of doing that or something
else that unblocks the read call in the stdin
Twisted supports asynchronous handling of stdin on both POSIX and Windows.
