I'm assuming you're accessing this Queue in an idle loop maybe? How many items do you get out of it before you pass and wait for a re-invocation? Either way, you can try calling 'wx.Yield()' after each add to the GUI or every few or such, so the GUI can process events.

I'm writing a search engine in Python with wxPython as the GUI. I have the actual searching preformed on a different thread from Gui thread. It sends it's results through a Queue to the results ListCtrl which adds a new item. This works fine or small searches, but when the results number in the hundreds, the GUI is frozen for the duration of the search. I suspect that so many search results are coming in that the GUI thread is too busy updating lists to respond to events. I've tried buffer the results so there's 20 results before they're sent to the GUI thread and buffer them so the results are sent every .1 seconds. Nothing helps. Any advice would be great.
