Roughly analagous:

	import select

	in_set = getInputSocketsArray()   # May be the
	out_set = getOutputSocketArray()  # same arrays
	exc_set = getExceptionSocketArray() #ie, all your
					  # characters in game
	control = getControlSocket()     # the socket you listen on
					 # should also be in in_set

	# 0.1 is number of seconds to block
	ins, outs, excs = select.select(in_set, out_set, exc_set, 0.1)

	if control in ins:
		# handle new connection
		pass

	for char in excs:
		# disconnect character
		pass

	for char in ins:
		# handle character input
		pass
