I won't claim it's "best" (I'd like to see non-blocking callback
processing, as well) but what I did in the Python bindings was
to bind the event base to the context, and when the user issues
a query I create a new event base only if there isn't one already.
This allows <bignum> queries to be issued asynchronously against
a given context.  There's also a Context.run() method, which runs the
event loop (and is blocking), and it's called at the user's pleasure.
The run() method is the only place where the event loop is run.
