If something is blocked on I/O or in any other condition where python 
bytecode isn't constantly being executed, your whole process (or at 
least your real thread) is blocked.  Period.  You need to use 
non-blocking I/O throughout, it doesn't need to be polling though (you 
should really be using select).

Note that this is largely the same conditions for threaded python, 
except if you release the GIL during a blocking C function (which is 
usually the case, especially for I/O) then another thread gets a chance 
to execute.
