Put the rest of your code in a callback on a Deferred that fires when the
event you're interested in happens. When using inlineCallbacks, that's
like:
yield the_event_youre_interested_in
# ... more code
At least, this is the extremely-localized solution to the problem. There
are many possible ways to structure such a thing. It's easy to describe
this one because you said you're using inlineCallbacks and didn't say
anything else about how your code is organized.
