Jean-Paul Calderone <exar...@divmod.com> added the comment: pygtk doesn't release the GIL around its internal calls unless you call threads_init. So I think this is pretty clearly just a misuse of the pygtk library. There's nothing at all Python can do about it. If an extension library doesn't release the GIL, no Python code can run concurrently with it. In this case, the extension API you've invoked is the Gtk main loop, which runs until you stop it, usually right before your gtk app exits.
