Please don't top-post. It's becoming more prevalent on this list, but
it makes things very confusing. I need to put my response just after
yours, but then the other relevant pieces are out of order.

Dear Tutor Dudes,
I have a socket Gui program. The only problem is that socket.recv
waits
for a response, which totally screws Tkinter I think. I tried making the
timeout extremely small (it was alright if I didn't receive anything, I
was excepting that a lot) but I think that screwed socket. Anyone have
words
of wisdom.
Sincerely,
Me
Sure:
Do the socket I/O on a separate thread.

Threads aren't that tough in Python.
Threads aren't always helpful in CPython, because of the GIL. But this
is one case where they are. And somebody has pointed out a library
which presumably hides the thread details from you.
