for faq?: multithreaded curses getch()

| To get the getch thread to block without holding the GIL, the solution I
| found was to do a select on stdin, as described in...
| a faq-oriented summary :)...!
| Hint for using curses module with threads: to wait for a keypress
| without blocking other threads, try inserting a
| "select.select([sys.stdin], [], [])" call before the call to getch().

stdwin.nodelay(1) also works--it causes getch() to always be non-blocking.
