100ms timeouts in pygtk
Last modified: 2006-09-29 19:11:15 UTC
all pygtk applications wakes up every 100ms because of a timeout in pygtk. [16:35:03] gjc: it was already solved once for gobject.MainLoop.run() [16:35:19] gjc: we just need to copy the strategy to other main loops
Created attachment 69744 [details] [review] patch, based on markmc's pygobject mainloop code
This only fixes the timeout for POSIX systems; win32 will have to keep using the timer...
Hmm, I wonder if on win32 this is even needed. Signals don't really exist on win32 (at least in the form they do on unix-like systems), but I'd need to look at how the keyboard interrupt exception is generated to say for sure
