Here is a technique that allows the loop to run in the background, in its
own thread, leaving the main program to do other processing -
import threading
class DataGetter(threading.Thread):

A pleasure.
I left out a line that will usually be desirable.
At the end of the program, you should have -
data_getter.stop()
+ data_getter.join()
This forces the main program to wait until the thread has terminated before
continuing.
