Re: Best way to busy-wait in Python 3 / Gtk+ 3?

Sorry I missed the process bit.

To have the load in another process, use a pipe to send worker results
back to the main process, and add the pipe to your gtk main loop as an
event source.

You obviously can't use any gtk/glib stuff in your worker, you'd need
to just make a .jpg, then do all the widget stuff in the main process,
