Hello,
I want to write a thread in python which can be invoked for say 5
sec, within that the threads function would be to take input,is it
possible because i tried it and found that raw_input() is blocking
threads.

There isn't really a convenient solution to this problem, since a thread
can't easily be stopped "from the outside".

Various solutions you might dream up using signals are likely to be
either unreliable or non-portable or possibly both.

You m ay have to poll the keyboard directly to gather input and time out
if it doesn't arrive.

will be some help in the windows environment, select() is your friend
under *nix.
