Was there ever an answer to this? I'd be very curious to find out, too, as I've been putting off the networking/threading part of my application.
Are there any toy examples out there where a pygtk app listens to the network and allows user input at the same time? Maybe the simplest thing would be a little chat window with a space where it shows the last incoming message, and a textentry and Send button to send an outgoing message. sjbrown On Fri, 2002-07-05 at 16:16, icewind wrote: > Hello, > > I'm writing a gui program using pygtk that needs to > use threads and I'm not quite sure how to proceed. > > Currently, when main gets executed, it creates and > runs an instance of a class called Driver.
