[comtypes-users] Question about PumpEvents()

[Doyle, S. W. <SD...@mg...>]

Hi -

I just started using comtypes over the weekend - I suspect my question is really more about COM.

I’ve been able to connect to a third party application and use GetEvents(), PumpEvents() and a sink to get the data that I need. That part is working pretty smoothly (Thanks!). But I’m confused about the timeout on PumpEvents(). My application may run for a few hours (probably 8 hours max) where I want to be listening for messages. I could just create a very large timeout - but is there a recommended mechanism I should be using instead? (I’m using Python 3.7.1).

Thanks

Sean
