[PyQt] How to get Qt signals delivered to a pure python thread.

processEvents has an overload with a maxTime argument, isn't that

Unfortunately it does not work as expected. processEvents should be running _within_ qeventloop. As I understand it's designed to process events during some long term task which do not return execution.
But it requires a blocking qeventloop.exec in the first place which I cannot afford to have.

What I'm looking for, is something like qeventloop.exec(10ms).
