Hi,
I want to try and draw a series of cairo shapes in a loop that does other

How do I fit this concept together with the gtk.main() that seems to stop

Take a look at gobject.idle_add() (perform a computation when the process is

The GTK mainloop has to deal with user's events, so you can't use it
for that kind of stuff since you would block the events' handler. If
you have to do background work like this one, you need some kind of
multithreading.
