If it makes you feel any better, I spent an hour this morning building a 2-function API for Linux and Windows, both tested, not using ctypes, and not even using any part of asyncio (the Windows bits are in msvcrt and _winapi). It works in Python 3.3+. You can see it here: http://pastebin.com/0LpyQtU5

I had a need for this a few years ago. It's messy to do on Windows (ctypes callouts to PeekNamedPipe to check if you can read from the process without blocking). So I would like to see a recipe for this, (even if it's likely to be another few years before I ever need it again :-)).
