I use python-ogre plus twisted:
no threads, twisted has control and a LoopingCall triggers a basic Ogre
iteration step (similar to the coiteration idea the OP referenced).
Using a LoopingCall provides automatic frame-rate limitation, the
coiteration code gives render-as-often-as-possible.
Twisted's main loop is by far more complicated than Ogre's default loop,
the latter simply runs pumpmessages-render-callframelisteners as often
as possible and is easier to integrate into twisted's.
