http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Cookbook/InterruptingThreads I'm not sure how these work (the wiki page implies they just run the external event loop in a thread, so they're not suitable for embedding IPython in such a tool kit). I'm sure there's a way to pump IPython though (there must be, since it's embeddable in gtk) so that's where you'll want to look. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
