Hey Tristam - Thanks for the quick response! I have a couple questions inline:

What do I do if I need an event loop for a pyglet OpenGL window and another one for other UI elements (e.g. wx windows)? It seems that pyglet quickly breaks when it's not on the main thread, and wx does as well - how can I run these two together? > Also worth noting is that due to the global interpreter lock, using multiple > threads in python has no real performance benefit, so only use multiple > threads if you need preemption. Yeah, I'm not trying to do multiprocessing or anything - just have an event loop for the main UI and another one (as required) for the OpenGL window in pyglet. How can I do this without crashing? FWIW, things work fine with a secondary thread for the wx window on Ubuntu and Windows. Thanks!
