Ive started looking at making epilicious (an epiphany extension, written in Python, to synchronise local and Del.icio.us bookmarks) giving the user a bit more feedback. My idea was to spawn off a thread to do the actual synchronisation in order for the epiphany GUI to not lock up. Later I'd look into displaying a progressbar.
Unfortunately I got stuck on the first step. I create a threading.Thread object, passing in the synchronisation function as its target argument. Then I start the thread: def _menu_callback(action, window): t = threading.Thread(target=_do_sync) t.start() I've added some calls to a logger (using logging.getLogger) first thing both in _menu_callback and in _do_sync. The first one is hit, but the second is never reached. Is it possible to do a multi-threaded extension in Python at all? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
