I am doing something similar to what you describe, and it works perfectly, on Windows and on Linux. Threading *is* the correct approach for what you are attempting. Don't give up. Try to isolate where the crash happens, and post the relevant section of code here. If I can't spot the error, there is a good chance someone else will.

wx.Yield() during socket timeout
Hello All, I am creating a socket connection in order to read and write to a location. My problem is,the gui becomes unresponsive if the socket times out. I know that a good solution is to have the socket read and write with a thread. However, I have tried this and have a problem where ONLY on linux does the program crash, it DOES NOT crash on windows xp. I have been trying to figure out why for about a week and have just given up. Instead, I am now tryign to use wx.Yield() which will allow the gui to be updated. However, during timeouts, the gui still hangs. Does anybody have any clever ideas on how I could call the function wx.Yield() during a timeout so that the GUI stays responsive? I have already tried timers, and they dont work. thanks for your help, Kiran -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
