I see. I modified it to inherit from BaseEventLoop now. I found a bug in 
the way rose executes handler callbacks 
(https://github.com/saghul/rose/commit/94e984cf756c3d0730acf804c18cab682cffd6d6) 
I need to think how to implement this, probably saving the first base 
exception, stopping the processing and reraising it...
