Keyboard blocking while no input

Hey while working with the keyboard stuff I noticed if there is no input the the execution is blocked.
from __future__ import print_function
from inputs import get_key
def main():
"""Just print out some event infomation when keys are pressed."""
while 1:
events = get_key()
if events:
for event in events:
print(event.ev_type, event.code, event.state)
print("Hello")
sleep(0.1)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
If you run the following code you'll notice that Hello doesn't print until you press a key. After some further digging I found that it's halting in the _get_data(self, read_size)
def _get_data(self, read_size):
"""Get data from the character device."""
return self._character_device.read(read_size) <-- here waiting on a input
I did some digging and couldn't find anything to help stop it from blocking. So if anyone else any ideas please and thank you.
