You should be able to use python threading without problems. Just
remember that you have to acquire the GTK thread lock with
threads_enter(), and release it with threads_leave() afterwards, when you
do any GTK calls.
Note that you don't need to acquire the gtk thread lock from within signal
handlers, but do have to from within timeout, idle and IO callback
functions.
Also, get a recent version (>= 0.6.2) as things did not work correctly
with previous versions.
