Events in Python?

[redefined.horizons at gmail.com]

Here is another non-pythonic question from the Java Developer. (I beg
for forgiveness...)

Does Python have a mechanism for events/event-driven programming?

I'm not necessarily talking about just GUIs either, I'm interested in
using events for other parts of an application as well.

If there isn't some sort of event mechanism built into Python, where
might I find some information about implementing one?

Thanks,

Scott Huey
