It is unusual but
should work AFAICT. Just read one packet when select shows its ready;
if there's more than one, don't loop around read, but rely on select
returning immediately.

I did verify it on strace, so it should not  be python artefact.

It is artefact of your program, you buffering your input. Use:

	file = open("/dev/input/event3", "rb", 0)

Oops, yes, you are right, that solves it. Thanks... and sorry for the
noise.
