First of all the favorite Pythonic way to communicate between threads is with synchronized queues--see the Queue module. Have the worker thread put stuff on a queue and have the main GUI thread read from it. Secondly, I don't know about wxPython, but in tkinter you have to resort to a kludge in order for the gui thread to handle gui events and also notice stuff on a queue. There's a tkinter command to run some function after a specified time (say 50 msec). So you'd set that timeout to check the queue and restart the timer, which means the gui would check 20x a second for updates from the worker threads. When it got such an update, it would create a new window or whatever. It could be that wxPython has a cleaner way of doing this, or you might have to do something similar. Python thread support seems to have been something of an afterthought and there's a lot of weirdness like this to deal with. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
