Hi, I can't find any documentation(*) stating positively whether gobject.idle_add and timeout_add are safe to call from a non-main thread (e.g. a gstreamer message callback). Specifically,
def work(*args): # (1) gtk.gdk.threads_enter() ?? self.ui.change_some_label() # (2) gtk.gdk.threads_leave() ?? # (3) gtk.gdk.threads_enter() ?? gobject.idle_add (work) # (4) gtk.gdk.threads_leave() ?? Are (1)/(2) and/or (3)/(4) necessary? And for which pygtk versions does this apply? I am targetting separately 2.12 (on an embedded platform) and 2.24 (on the desktop). (*) Except https://developer.gnome.org/gdk/unstable/gdk-Threads.html which seems to be from 1999 and implies that __for gtk, not pygtk__ the g_idle_add requires both (1)/(2) and (3)/(4). I can't actually find any recent GTK+ documentation that unambiguously resolves the issue.
