Take a look at the client side of the address book
example in my network profgramming topic. It shows
an example of breaking out of a recv loop.

Another option is to use the select module services

No, it's good practice, it distinguishes between class level
variables and local variables. The use of self/this etc is usually
required in industrial coding standards for C++ and Java
(eg Dept of defense/Government etc) for the same reason,
even though those languages don't require it. As in many
things python is simply enforcing what is already considered
good practice elsewhere.
