Hi, I'm developing my first python application, a multi-threaded cell phone gadget on ubuntu 7.10. I've just split off my first thread, and I've noticed something extremely strange: There doesn't seem to be any preemption. There are currently two threads, one that pings a storage service to see if there are messages available, and the other that runs the gtk windows. If I do not explicitly yield either one, it runs forever. I'm assuming this is a setting somewhere, but that's a very strange default behavior.
How do I get this to go about preempting these threads? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks! I apologize if anyone sees this twice, I sent a copy earlier but did not receive it from the mailing list, indicating to me that it wasn't received correctly.
