Official way to stop a pipeline in Python?

[Mathieu Duponchelle]

set_state(Gst.State.NULL) should work, you probably want to collect a stacktrace
at hang time and figure out what's blocking :)

Also, gst-launch-1.0 PAUSES the bus, sets the bus state back into the READY state, before actually setting it to the NULL state, de-referencing it, and exiting. I actually tried it that as well but when I set the bus state to PAUSE then READY is hangs again.

I can't find a singe Python example that polls for messages. Almost all of them are some flavor of connecting to the bus via callbacks.
