I have written a Python binding [1] to Tomboy's global keybinding code
(written in C). And it all works fine. Mostly.
If my python app calls
gtk.gdk.threads_init()
earlier, however, then it segfaults somewhere in the PyEval_CallObject
of:
--------------------
void handler_c_func (char *keystring, gpointer user_data)
{
Handler_and_Args *ha = (Handler_and_Args *) user_data;
PyObject *result = PyEval_CallObject(ha->handler, ha->args);
if (result == NULL) {
if (PyErr_Occurred()) {
PyErr_Print();
}
} else {
Py_DECREF(result);
}
}
--------------------
If I add gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() just before and
after the "PyObject *result = ..." line, then it doesn't segfault, but
just blocks at the gdk_threads_enter. I tried messing around with
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS, and alternatively having handler_c_func calling
g_idle_add, but both of those didn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Nigel.
