I was unable to see documentation explaining this - so asking again. Suppose the event handlers in the component is doing blocking work, how is it handled? I went through ciruits.core, but was unable to understand exactly how blocking mechanisms are handled. My scenario is as follows: I have 4 loops, 1 small and high priority, 3 quite large and blocking (takes upto 3 seconds) and comparatively low priority. The small loops goes through everytime and does some work - and optionally uses the data sent by the other 3 loops. I do not want the smaller loop to get blocked by the other loops. So, if the event handler does blocking work, can that cause the whole loop to block? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
