Hi, I have been going of the archive for a while now and I cant seem to
get this sorted.
I have an app, it dynamically impotts modules depending on the users
actions, and some (one of these) include modules that try to use
threads.
the main py prog does this:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import threading
import sys
import gnome.ui
import gtk
from GearBox import *
gtk.threads_init()
gtk.threads_enter()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = GearBox()
gtk.mainloop()
gtk.threads_leave()
Now when I start teh module with the thread from teh main app the
gnome-system-monitor shows the thread, so it all looks good. Then I
click on a ui button that askas the thread to update teh display (a tree
view) and teh whole UI freezes until it is done.
Argh!
How do I get the thread to churn away updating teh view one row at a
time (the whole thing takes about 5 seconds)? Is the problem that the
hole thing is in another module?
Also, should I (can I) destroy the thread once the display is updated
and create a new one next tiem? at the moment the thread just hangs
around waiting to be told to update the display.
Thanks
