If I understand correctly, you want the possibility that one threads
emits a signal to an object and that this signal will be treated
in the same way as if it came from a mouse click or things like that.
Yes it is possible, but yes it requires some magic.
This is how I do it:
import gtk
import gobject as gob
import gtk.gdk as gdk
def Emit(obj, *args):
def Do_Emit(obj, sig, *args):
gdk.threads_enter()
obj.emit(sig, *args)
gdk.threads_leave()
return False
#end Do_Emit
gob.idle_add(Do_Emit, obj, *args, **{"priority" : gob.PRIORITY_HIGH})
#end Emit
To be used as follows:
Emit(obj, signal, args)
