Hi all, I've been having a problem with Python under Cygwin. Basically, Python crashes if I try to start any threads in a program using the Tkinter GUI package.
This issue has been encountered before, by Steve Ward in February 2006: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00700.html The test program that he posted crashes for me as well, under Cygwin 1.5.22-1. The same program runs flawlessly under Linux. The only workaround I have found is this followup by Jim Brooks: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00799.html He recommended downgrading to Cygwin 1.5.18, as apparently the problem was introduced by threading changes in Cygwin 1.5.19. Does anyone know of another way to resolve this problem, so that Python Tkinter programs can use multithreading? Thanks!
