How to wait until update database is complete?

[simon2x]

Is it possible to wait until MPDclient().update() is complete?

i.e. mpc update --wait

Here is a code excerpt you might use:

                MPD2.send_idle()
                # do this periodically, e.g. in event loop
                canRead = select([MPD2], [], [])[0]
                if canRead:
                    event = MPD2.fetch_idle()
            if 'database' in event: # exit wait loop
