Hi Chris-
In answer to your question,
this is a simulation. The "events" are program generated; I'm trying to
approximate a Poisson process, so the times between event pairs are
exponentially distributed.
Regards,
Jack

where are these "events" coming from?
In any case, one route is to have a main wxPython application. In its OnInit
method, start up another thread that runs the code that listens for events.
In that code, when you get an event, call:
wx.CallAfter(some_func_to_update_image)
In some_func_to_update_image()
You, well, update the image in your wxPython code. I think I already posted
an example of how to do that.
You put the listening code in a separate thread, so it won't block the
wxPython MainLoop -- if all you are doing is displaying these images, that
may not be necessary, though you'll have to do something so that the user can
at least interact enough with the GUI enough to quit it.
wx.CallAfter() is a way to deal with the fact that wxPython is not thread
safe, so you can't make GUI calls directly from another thread.
HTH,
-Chris
