Actually, I'd like this in some non-Tk cases. There probably should be
a Python main loop module. I've been thinking that Python needs
pseudo-threads for non-threaded OS's, and this might be the driver.
I could perhaps take the main loop code out of the ILU distribution and
adapt it to be a mainloop module for Python. Certainly the basic code
to handle timer alarms and I/O event dispatching would be useful.
