Thanks for that, I have started to look at calling
soya.MainLoop(self.scene).update() with the intent to place it in a generator
function with the other tasks my client needs to perform. I tried calling the
update method in a for loop from a COM client with slightly strange results
(the caterpillar head rotated but wouldn't move). Can somebody help? The files
were the same as on one of my previous emails, except I have added the update
function alone in a method public to COM.

Actually even Python is not thread-safe. You must lock the virtual
machine if you want to use multiple threads and carefully manage which
threads are doing what with it.

This is dangerous and will cause crashes due to the threads not being
aware of each other's state. Really bad idea, IMHO.

Yes, that is about the only way how to do it, however still the issue of
Python's thread safety remains.
