Maybe this is better (untested):

    def get_events(self, wait=False):
        """
        Get a list of available QMP events.

        @param wait: block until an event is available (bool)
        """
        if not wait:
            self.__sock.setblocking(0)
        try:
            self.__json_read(only_event=wait)
        except socket.error, err:
            if err[0] == errno.EAGAIN:
                # No data available
                pass
        if not wait:
            self.__sock.setblocking(1)
        return self.__events
