JPython only supports a subset of the built-in modules (i.e.
modules that are written in C in CPython).  and in this case,
the fact that Java (last time I checked, at least) doesn't
support polling makes things a bit harder.

however, it should be possible to use threads to emulate this
module, and it listed as "being under consideration" on the
jpython.org site:
