I do it rather similarly but as I am building a pure GLib app from
GObject-based library, I don't have any Gtk dependencies and therefore
the Gtk main loop is not helping. I will just sketch, how it is done
now (Foo is the GObject-based library written in C):

from gi.repository import Foo, GObject

class MyFilter(Foo.Filter):
    def do_process(self, data):
        print data

if __name__ == '__main__':
    GObject.threads_init()
    f = MyFilter()
    caller = Foo.Caller()
    caller.call(f, None)

foo_caller_call() basically creates a thread that calls the
foo_filter_process() method of the passed object and joins this
thread. If I don't create a thread but just call foo_filter_process()
from foo_caller_call() everything works fine and the Python code is
executed.

Regards.
