That's because Tkinter is not thread safe AFAIK. > I experienced similar problems with Twisted. Neither Twisted is thread-aware. It uses thread for a couple of things (twisted.row and address resolution). You can call stuff in a separate thread with deferToThread or callInThread but avoid threads is best. > But could anyone tell me why running these in a thread other than the > main one doesn't work? Because neither Twisted nor Tkinter are meant to work with threads. -- Lawrence - http://www.oluyede.org/blog "Nothing is more dangerous than an idea if it's the only one you have" - E. A.
