After some discussion, Aahz suggested that I discuss the problem here, on python-dev. He seemed to think that the problem I saw may have been an indication of a bug in python. Could anyone take a look at that thread and say whether it looks like a bug, or working with non-blocking sockets was the right thing to do?

Well, not having to faff around with non-blocking IO is one of the major advantages of threading, so if blocking IO is indeed the cause of your problem then it certainly sounds like a bug in Python, or possibly your operating system.
