Doing something else within the MainLoop()

All:

I’m trying to implement something continuously within the main loop with NO dependency on whether an event has been triggered. In other words, suppose I want to print a statement for every clock tick of the processor regardless of whether I’m focused in the window, move the mouse, draw a rectangle, etc… I just want it to print something until I close the window/application.

How do I do this? Once the MainLoop() function has been called, I’m not sure how to do some code WITHIN the MainLoop() function since I can’t access it.

Here I use self.keepGoing as my boolean to exit the loop. This doesn't work however and I'm not sure why.

What platform? Does samples/mainloop/mainloop.py work for you?
