We have a Python GTK+ program that uses threads. If we DON'T run the GTK+ GUI code then multitasking is fine and every thread gets a little CPU time. If we run a GTK+ GUI in the main parent process/thread then program freezes. The PyGTK commands called gtk.threads.thread_enter() and gtk.gdk.threads_leave() are used to avoid conflicts caused by two threads writing to GUI at the same time. The disallow/allow other threads to write to GUI as needed. It would seem that the problem are with these two commands but we cannot seem to find the problem. As you know, threads are not the easiest things to debug. We are wondering if Python threads are unstable. Are they?? Any ideas at all how to begin to solve this?
