There are a bunch of GIL-release problems in 0.71.  I sent patches
solving some of them to the list, and can probably find them again if
someone wants them.

Actually, I would love to hack on a pure-python mainloop if that’s
possible.

For some of the code that we’re writing, we need get signals back from
Avahi and can’t rely on the glib mainloop.  Right now we have a hack
where we call the glib mainloop in a thread, but it leaves a lot to be
desired, and doesn’t work when our code happens to be imported with
code that does use the glib mainloop.

How can I help?
