Something like this:
But remember, the callback will be executed in the context of the running thread, which means if you intend to touch the gui from this thread you will need to get the gtk lock. That is why I always recommend [1] doing communication from the thread to the main application using gobject signals emitted in an idle handler. This way it allows you to retain a normal gobject signal based design for your app. John [1] http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/blog/index.php/2007/03/12/threading-and-pygtk/ > _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
