It's 2025 and I am still not 100% sure how to have #PyGame go to sleep and wait for either an event from the keyboard/mouse/controller or an event from the network or a vblank interrupt without some kind of hard-coded polling timeout. Various attempts I've made at this in the past have violated thread safety rules and I'm not sure the documentation even covers all the constraints I need to preserve. #python

both https://pyga.me/docs/ref/event.html#pygame.event.post and https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/event.html#pygame.event.post imply that I could call pygame.event.post() from a thread because they don't have the usual thread safety warning on them, but then, pygame.event.get doesn't have such a warning either, and it clearly should, because one of the flags literally says it's going to call another function that has such a warning if passed
