But it isn't ;-). Gui apps routinely use event loops and/or threads or subprocesses to avoid blocking on either user input (which can come from keyboard or mouse) and maybe disk operations and calculations. For instance, if it became possible to run the test suite from Idle, it would need to be non-blocking so one could continue to edit while the tests run (15-20 min on my machine, divided by number of cores).
