I was afraid that someone was going to mention threading. I have read
about it before but not been able to do much with it.
My ultimate goal is to create some sort of tamagotchi style virtual
pet to interact with. Over time it gets hungry or bored, but the
process can be fixed by a user "feeding" or "playing with" it. I
wanted to take this opportunity to teach myself some PyGTK coding as
well, but I thought that maybe I could build the creature object and
looping in such a way that it would be possible to add a GUI to it
later.
No, that's not possible. But when you use GTK, there are timer-functions
that let you register a timer event which will then invoke a callback in
which you can check whatever status you like.
