Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] IDLE, threads and pyopengl

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

And then he realizes he's asked the completely wrong question.

What I meant to ask was:

Can IDLE - or any python command interpreter for that matter? - be run itself as
a pythread ?

I have a threaded environment.  It would be really nice if I could pretend to be
just another thread and do my locking and unlocking etc as that thread, in the
course of development.

(Of course not all modules in python are pythread-safe, but I've factored that
in as the threaded environment I'm using makes almost no standard module calls,
and the rest I can deal with case-by-case).
