[Pyobjc-dev] Problem with NSText:setString

[Daniel L. d. S. <dan...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have a GUI application built with interface builder. One of the windows has a NSTextView in it. I connected it to an object also referenced in the interface builder file.
The goal is to write to the NSTextView from a background trhead that does some task. I launch the thread with a call to 

	NSThread.alloc().initWithTarget_selector_object_()

The behaviour I am getting is erratic. Most times it blocks on the call to the NSTextView's setString_() method and the application hangs. If I run the code on the main thread it runs fine.

How do I do this from a background thread ? The idea is to keep the application responsive.

I am on :
snow leopard (10.6.7)
pyObjc (I think it is 2.2b3 (can you tell me how to really check the version ?))

Many thanks
