One thing you might try this for your ilist:
        ilist.append (my_sock.fileno())

In theory it shouldn't matter.
The socket docs say that socket.fileno() is useful for working with select.
It's confusing since docs for select.select() say you can pass in a list
of an objects supporting fileno() or you can pass integer filedescriptors, so 
why would socket.fileno() says it's useful for working with select.select()? 
I don't know, but comeing from a C background using select, I would eliminate
any confusion and just use select with an integer list. 

Let me know if that helps at all.

Yours,
