You can't do this.  The Python C API (and therefore Boost.Python's) is not
thread safe.  If threadloop is running in another thread along side the one the
Python interpreter is running in, accessing a Python object at the same time
will result in a crash.

You should wrap a C++ class, which has a set member that can be accessed from
Python.  That way in C++ you can do: "this->myEvent.set();"  Then later in
python you can access the value.
