I was specifically referring to this loop as "polling":

while r.isObserving(): # until observing is stopped
  wheel(WHEEL_UP, 10) # wheel (might be WHEEL_DOWN on Windows)
  wait(1)

In this context, it's fine as it is (and indeed, your suggestion above
has been working well for me :) ), but when I can, I try to do multi-
threaded coding in such a way that I don't have to "ask" another thread
whether it's done, but rather am notified ("interrupted") when it is.
Sometimes that resolves to some lower-level polling anyway, depending on
the architecture available, sometimes not.  It can also have other
difficulties, again depending on the architecture and the specific
facilities available.  It's also a little bit academic for the moment.
