I know that will be hard to do, but it's the only<br>way out of this mess that I can see.</blockquote><br>That depends on what you consider messy about it. *I* don't like the idea of something in the Python installation deciding which reactor to use. It's my application, and I'm damn well going to tell it what to do. If that means it doesn't work as I expected, it's my own fault :-)
<br><br>In any case, your idea requires a lot of changes in external, non-Python code -- PyGTK simply exposes the GTK mainloop, which couldn't care less about Python's idea of a perfect event reactor model. While those issues are being settled, we'll have to cope with selecting the right reactor manually. It's not all that different from what you want, in any case. The PerfectReactor can be added later, all current reactors aliased to it, and no one would have to change a single line of code.
