I have a python cell that runs a long duration simulation and moves objects on a canvas on the front end. I would like to receive and process messages from the front end over a Comm channel while the python code is executing in a cell. Such as a mouse event when a user clicks on the canvas element and a message is sent over Comm to the python side. Is there a mechanism in ipython/notebook that will allow me to process a message from the front end while my python code is executing in a cell such as in a while loop that runs forever.
