Re: Modules depending on different event loops in the same POE app?
The problem is that Tk's event loop and Event's event loop are mutually exclusive. POE can use Event, via POE::Loop::Event, just as easily as it can use Tk's via POE::Loop::Tk. POE::Component::Generic "hangs" in a separate process, so the main POE::Loop::Tk will continue on. -- Rocco Caputo On Aug 21, 2011, at 16:40, Gunnar Strand wrote: > Yes, I was also thinking along those lines, but I was sort of hoping for > possible way to marry the Tk and the Event loops.

Re: Modules depending on different event loops in the same POE app?
Yes, I was also thinking along those lines, but I was sort of hoping for possible way to marry the Tk and the Event loops. Since POE can utilize the Tk loop, perhaps Event could have been convinced too. This is really only a one-way communication, so I was thinking about making this a PoCo::Generic session and let it "hang" in the Event::loop call. Would that work, or would POE hang too? 2011/8/21 Nick Perez > It would probably make sense to run the RCU in a child and have it push > events over the pipes of POE::Wheel::Run.

Re: Modules depending on different event loops in the same POE app?
It would probably make sense to run the RCU in a child and have it push events over the pipes of POE::Wheel::Run. Not as monolithic that way, but then you could generalize what kind of interface those two pieces use to chat. At that point you could then replace the RCU part with anything else that also understands the interface.
