Minimizing CPU Utilization of audisp Plugin

[Osama Elnaggar]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a Python audisp plugin.  My main routine looks
like this:

if __name__ == '__main__':

    try:
...

        aup = auparse.AuParser(auparse.AUSOURCE_FEED)
        aup.add_callback(process_event, None)

        while True:
            for _ in fileinput.input():
                aup.feed(_)
    except:
...

While profiling my plugin, I noticed that 95% + of the CPU time used by my
plugin is used in fileinput.input(), waiting/reading from input

Is there any way to lower this or preferred way to poll/read?

Thanks
