[Orbit-python-list] mainloop...

[Brian C. <bc...@th...>]

I don't think this mainloop issue has to be so complicated.

Here's a bit of code that runs the pygtk main loop w/o halting the interpreter:

while 1:
  if gtk.events_pending():
    gtk.mainiteration(0)
  else:
    time.sleep(0.2)


Just implementing two equivalent calls for orbit-python would allow python,
orbit, and gtk to all coexist, something like this:

while 1:
  i = 1
  if gtk.events_pending():
    gtk.mainiteration(0)
    i = 0

  if orb.events_pending():
    orb.mainiteration(0)
    i = 0

  if i:
    time.sleep(0.1)


Is there some problem here I'm overlooking?
