[pygtk] Can't run PyGTK more than once from embedded Python

I've made some more tests and found why the PyGTK
scripts run once, but couldn't find how to solve the
issue. My application runs Python scripts using
PyRun_SimpleString(). It works fine when running
simple scripts. However, a PyGTK script opening a
window never ends (hence the bug: a new script can't
start since the previous is still running).

Running the following script from the command line
opens a window, but after closing it, one needs to hit
Ctrl-C to stop the Python interpreter:


import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk

class Base:
	def __init__(self):
		self.window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
		self.window.show()

	def main(self):
		gtk.main()

print __name__
if __name__ == "__main__":
	base = Base()
	base.main()


Is it possible for the above script to quit when the
window's closed?

 Cheers,

  Romain
