 #Example
+from select import select
 
 client.send_idle()
-select([client], [], [])
-changed = client.fetch_idle()
+# do this periodically, e.g. in event loop
+canRead = select([client], [], [], 0)[0]
+if canRead:
+    changes = client.fetch_idle()
+    print(changes) # handle changes
+    client.send_idle() # continue idling
 
 #You can also poll the socket FD (returned by client.fileno(), which is called by default by select, poll, etc.) using other tools too.
