Question

You can know if the event stack is empty calling the gtk.events_pending() method, but I want to manipulate the pending events and filter it before the next gtk loop cycle, this data must be stored somewhere, but where?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can control the event loop yourself. Rather than calling gtk.main(), you can use gtk.main_iteration.

Your loop could then be:

while running:
    #filter events here
    gtk.main_iteration(true)

see here for more info.
