Here's the issue now: I don't know much about how the garbage
collector works in python, and in order to get the thread to run
without freezing, I'm wrapping the threaded processing function
with calls to gc.disable()/gc.enable().
Will that work? Does calling gc.disable() on a thread disable
garbage collection for all threads, or only for the calling thread?
I suspect that what you want to do is to call gc.disable() once, and
then call gc.collect() explicitly on the main thread (or whichever
thread is handling gtk).
