That's probably the best solution I've heard so far, short of adding a Tcl-like event loop API to Python. There are two remaining issues though: 1) Currently, there's only one PyOS_InputHook. So we're stuck if we find that some other extension module already set PyOS_InputHook. An easy solution would be to have an PyOS_AddInputHook/PyOS_RemoveInputHook API, and let Python maintain a list of input hooks to be called. 2) All extension modules have to agree to return immediately from a call to the hook function. Tkinter currently does not do this.
