I've been attempting to stop the script while handling my events when using observeInBackground, and from this answer here: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/295811 you've mentioned this isn't possible but is hopefully in the works for Sikuli 2.

I wanted to know if you could provide any advice for a work around? 

You mentioned (in the linked answer) using a global variable, but if I'm expecting to be able to preform several finds in that period and an unexpected popup appears, would there be a "clever" or more efficient way of protecting the script?

Would using try statements with a check in the except be practical (they'd have to wrap almost everything if it was a random popup, no?) or testing for the global variable before clicks?
