Do you need to use idle_add()? I have a Progress class I use to draw a progress bar on the screen and show a spinner and all that. It does the while pending / iterate thing too. My code looks something like: init: photo = gtk.Button('RTI Capture ...') photo.connect('clicked', self.rti_capture_cb, None) rti_capture_cb: mark gui insensitive enable progress feedback while long_job(): do a bit of work self.progress.update(percent) hide progress feedback mark gui active again Code here, if it's any help: https://github.com/jcupitt/rtiacquire John _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
