Different threads is okay if you're willing to use threads, but you might not. The reason you're using an event loop may well be precisely so that you don't have to use threads. And... how do you run multiple event loops simultaneously in the same thread? That sounds self-contradictory to me.

If all (or all-but-one) of them have a 'run one iteration' method, you can call that from the 'main' mainloop. Or you can design all mainloops as coroutines and have them call each other. (I haven't looked at Phillip's approach at all, but something tells me coroutines are involved :-)
