[PyOpenGL-Users] IDLE, threads and pyopengl

[JoN <jo...@we...>]

Under Linux.

Ok this is really strictly a python question, but its in an opengl context
(sic), so I thought I'd start here.  I'll find some python lists to ask as well.

I have an environment under design that drives pyopengl but there is a lot of
threaded stuff going on using python threads.  Part of it is a 3d editor (yes
yes I know there are good ones already, its just the data model this one uses is
for solid rendering and i need some custom code).

Now ideally whilst building the editor I'd be able to run IDLE in one X window
and have the GL output in another X window (albeit via MESA, but thats good
enough for debugging).

Question is, can I safely launch threads from inside IDLE?

That's it, that's my Q!

Jon
