To use threads, you need to enable pygtk's support for threads by calling gtk.gdk.threads_init(). http://unpythonic.blogspot.com/2007/08/using-threads-in-pygtk.html is a good brief overview of how to use pygtk and threads. It's also worthwhile reading the gtk+ notes on threading at http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/gdk/gdk-Threads.html , especially if you're trying to write something portable between X11 and Windows. I would, however, recommend looking at alternative options, such as multiprocessing, carefully first, before committing yourself to a threaded solution. -- Neil Muller drnlmul...@gmail.com I've got a gmail account.
