Hi, I have an application that starts several threads using

gobject.timeout_add(delay, function)

Now in my function I want to test and set on some variable, e.g.

def function(self):
if flag == True: flag = False doSomething()

Now to make this threadsafe, I would have to lock the function using some mutex lock. Is this possible with Gtk? Or can I use the Python Lock objects from threading?
