pyblosxom and thttpd (bug 1252678)

A user is having problems with PyBlosxom hanging on requests when used 
with thttpd.  I installed thttpd and tracked the problem down to this 
line:

     self._in.write(input.read())

in buffer_input_stream in the Request object.  It looks like the read call 
is hanging indefinitely reading from input (a FileObject object aka 
stdin).

With network streams we typically query the stream to see if it has data 
queued up before we do a blocking read.  I'm not sure how to do that with 
FileObjects.  Theoretically, the data should be there already--so I'm not 
sure why it's blocking.

Any ideas on what we can do that's compatible with Python 2.2?
