Well, for this to work, there *must* be threads involved, because you have 
Python and C++ executing concurrently. In which case, you probably only 
need an Event (Python waits on the Event, and C++ "set"s it when ready). 
OTOH, if there aren't any threads, you'll have to transfer control somehow. 
Such as Python calls a C++ function (exposed to Python like you do in 
extending) that prompts the user, gets the input and returns to Python.

Or maybe you're in a GUI, and everything happens in response to mesages, in 
which case you probably want to break the Python into two pieces, the 
second of which gets called after the whatever has occurred.
