as others have said, could you post the code you have tried with 'select'?

IIRC one thing to remember with select is that  you don't pass the actual
socket in a list, you pass the file descriptor/number. You can get this by
using the socket objects fileno() method.

so you might have something like

------------------------
import time
import socket
import select
HOST = ''
PORT = 50007
TIMEOUT=1
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen(1)
connected=0
while not connected:
        in_socks,_out_socks,
exception_socks=select.select([s.fileno()],[],[], TIMEOUT)
        if s.fileno() in in_socks:
                conn, addr=s.accept()
                connected=1
        print "*"
# connected to conn, do whatever
----------------------------
