I am making a python application with a GUI using WXGlade which connects to a website and extracts some information, this takes around 5-20 seconds of time per website.
I have a button(GUI) which when clicked, calls a function connect( ) which takes around 5-20 seconds to complete(As I mentioned Earlier) The problem is, during this time the other part of the code is rendered useless, I cannot access other parts of the code, for example a cancel( ) function to be called when cancel button is pressed, cannot be pressed until the previous function is completed and moreover the GUI hangs(stops responding). I am planning to explore Threading and Asynchronous data transfer, next. Please help me out if anyone has had a similar experience in the past. Thanks
