PyObject_CallFunction.
You might need to pass -out- a Thread instance, initialized with your
callback, then just call start, or just the pointer to start.
import threading
import time
def f( func )
func()
def g( caption ):
for _ in range( 1000 ):
print '%s\n'% caption,
time.sleep( .01 )
th= threading.Thread( target= g, args= ( 'what' ) )
f( th.start )
time.sleep( 10 )
