I got the signal to work on linux with sys.stdin.readline() but the
process timeout after x seconds even when I input something. Is there
a way to close the signal after getting a correct input from the
console window?
Thanks

Another thing that can be tried is:
import threading
a=""
def input():
global a
a = raw_input()
T = threading.Thread(target=input)
T.start()
T.join(2) ## does the trick
...
I have not tested it but i guess should work.
cheers,
amit.

This doesn't work with
I tried it on "Python 2.4.1" on '2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp with gcc version
4.0.0' .. which works fine .. may be it could be an issue with some
other combinations ..
cheers,

Nothing so straightforward. Depends how hard you want
to try. A couple of past threads on pretty much the
exact same issue offer no equivalent solution.
Is there a windows equivalent for that solution?

Which Python version are you using? I'm getting the following error
with Python 2.3.4:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\home\pciroot\vcur\sdk\tools\inter.py", line 32, in ?
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, input)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SIGALRM'

One way would be to use 'signal' s ... something like this should work
import signal
TIMEOUT = 5 # number of seconds your want for timeout
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, input)
signal.alarm(TIMEOUT)
def input():
try:
foo = raw_input()
return foo
except:
# timeout
return
