Hi Zachary, nice to know about call_soon_threadsafe! still it appears to work only if the main thread is in the foreground (as of calling Thread() with deamon=True), I don't get why it behaves differently :( maybe it is waiting for other stuff, but no idea how to confirm this with strace of other means.. i always see the same 'futex(0x7f9a70000c10, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL' -- Marc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
