Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: MainLoop
   :no-index:


   .. method:: run()

      Runs a main loop until :obj:`~gi.repository.GLib.MainLoop.quit` is called on the loop.
      If this is called for the thread of the loop's :obj:`~gi.repository.GLib.MainContext`\,
      it will process events from the loop, otherwise it will
      simply wait.
