RE: [Pythoncard-users] threads & PythonCard

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I don't know why you are having problems with tkinter and threads. Do the
wcgui.py and wsgui.py programs in the the python21\Tools\webchecker
directory run correctly?

The wxPython demo.py program has a threads example. I've asked Robin to help
do the conversion of the webchecker tkinter programs for wxPython as
examples of doing threading with wxPython, which will also work with
PythonCard, but he's been too busy to work on it.

There will probably be some parts of the PythonCard framework that are
threaded, but given the additional complexities that threading will add, I
doubt we'll use threading that much. It is more likely that we'll provide
some examples of using a timer or idle loop or yield operation for the user
code to do longer operations. I just don't know right now.

We haven't gotten into app to app communication at all yet, so again I don't
know the answer. I still want to wrap up most of the basic GUI issues, then
work on data storage for user data and meta data before looking at remote
and local app communication. Anyone else that would like to address
communication issues now by writing some modules and experiments is welcome
to.
