[Bro] using broccoli to send events to bro

[Mike Sconzo]

Thanks that's good to know. I changed it to

while bc.processInput():
    sleep(2)

and it still seems to exit immediately.

Any additional thoughts? I'm pretty lost on this one. I'm using 2.1
with the broccoli.py included with it.

Thanks again.
