non-blocking?

[Jon]

Greetings, 

How do I use Bridge in a non-blocking way, so that my program can do other things while waiting for calls to come in?

(For example, I'm working with Kivy.  It has it's own internal event loop but provides events that I can use to trigger  activities.  I need kivy's internal loop (and my activities that kivy triggers) coexist with Bridge.)

Hi Jon,
Bridge can coexist with other event-based libraries provided they are
using the same event loop. We try to use the canonical event library
on each platform. For example, in Python, Bridge uses Tornado and can
live with other Tornado-based things.

If Kivy uses its own loop rather than a widely accepted one, you may
be able to run Bridge in a seperate networking thread and run Kivy on
the main thread. Threads are a pain but it's a possible approach.

Kivy doesn't use tornado.
