[Pythonmac-SIG] Example of stand-alone NSRunLoop?

[Joe Strout]

I had great success using NSSpeechSynthesizer today, but my attempts  
to use NSSpeechRecognizer haven't gone nearly so well.  Here's what  
I'm trying to do:

-----
from Foundation import *
import AppKit

class SRDelegate(NSObject):
	def speechRecognizer_didRecognizeCommand_(self,sender,cmd):
		print "speechRecognizer_didRecognizeCommand_", cmd

recog = AppKit.NSSpeechRecognizer.alloc().init()
recog.setCommands_([u"red", u"green", u"blue"])
d = SRDelegate.alloc().init()
recog.setDelegate_(d)

print "Listening..."
recog.startListening()

# Now we need a NSRunLoop...
runLoop = NSRunLoop.alloc()  # note: no init() method?
runLoop.run()
-----

However, runLoop.run() returns immediately (or nearly so), instead of  
waiting.  Reading the docs, this is expected behavior if the run loop  
doesn't have any "input sources," but I'm stumped in trying to give it  
one.  Unfortunately, I'm even more of a newbie to Cocoa than I am to  
Python... can anyone share a clue?

Thanks,
- Joe
