Hi, I'm having problems to design a python network application, that is like a messenger.
In this app, the user would be able to send and receive messages. There are persistant connections involved, mainly because it is possible to receive messages asyncronously. I would like to handle these permanent connections in differents threads, so the GUI doesn't halt when sending, receiving or even wainting a message, but.... *How the main thread (the GUI, locked in g_main_loop) is awaken by the connection handler threads when a message arrives???? * I don't understand how the connection threads call functions that should be run in the main thread when this one is iterating the main loop. *Can different threads make modifications in the widgets?* (using the appropiate locks, barriers when needed). Can someone point to a nice howto/tutorial about this? Any help would be appreciate since I've never written an application like this and I am kind of fully-lost about this. Thanks in advance, even for reading up to here.
