#25 Run scripts in a separate thread

[Raphael Saint-Pierre]

when I run scripts which take time to execute, I couldn't
use Jext anymore until the execution has finished. I have
found how to run Python in a separate thread (I modified
jext.actions.xml), but maybe it would be a good idea to
do it in the default package... Or maybe not...

i think that it would be useful as the script could
interact with the UI in real time, thus tell the user things
about what happens (for example by setting up a
progress bar, or merely updating the log window)

whatever you think about that idea or me, just let me
tell you that Jext is useful to me...

That is a good idea. But remember Jext is using a singleton
to interpret Python code. So, we must test if this does not
interfere with this choice (what happens when two scripts
are ran at the same time ?). Next, we need to test if Jext
actions should be threaded too.
