Agreed, better yet, the code could become much simpler using an async pixbuf:
def on_image_ready(stream, res, user_data):
pixbuf = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_stream_finish(res)
...
file = Gio.File.new_for_uri("...")
GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_stream_async(file.read(None), None,
on_image_ready, None)
All within a main loop of course.
