I don't know about Tkinter, but Twisted can be run in a thread other than the main thread. Several projects make use of this feature extensively, so while I wouldn't recommend it, it should certainly work. Perhaps you did something wrong in setting it up, or perhaps you have found a bug. Can you post a minimal example to reproduce this to Twisted's bug tracker? Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
