while time.time() - t < 0.5 or not self._modified:
print >> sys.stderr, "Going to sleep\n"
self._mod_lock.wait(timeout=1)
print >> sys.stderr, "Ok time to see if we must repaint"
self.__repaint()
t = time.time()
But the timeout thing will continue after that, so you have a continuous
polling loop which wastes some CPU time. I think what you want can be
more easily achieved by doing a sleep(0.5) before the outer while loop,
i.e. as the first statement in __thread_run.
