Hey, RSK, I think the mailing list still works, it's just been quiet for about a week.
You're right, all that needs to be done is create a reporthook for the GUI. Downloads will need to be handled in a thread so that the GUI will remain active. Chris wrote some great stuff on his blog a while back about using threads with PyGTK: http://excid3.com/blog/2010/06/pygtk-and-threads-part-1/ http://excid3.com/blog/2010/06/pygtk-and-threads-part-2/ Because of the nature of threads, the code will probably end up looking a little strange. Feel free to dump thoughts on the mailing list let us help you figure things out. :-) On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 2:33 AM, Senthil Kumar_Rsk <webrsk.id...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Mac, > * Add download progress tab to interface -- at first, this just needs > to be something simple to show that index files are being downloaded. > This is a big chore and will require collaboration. > Now the progress has been shown in the console , I can see download page UI > is already there.
