I looked at it more closely, and I found that the Condition.wait is stuck on obtaining the GIL while the main thread executes the gobject main loop. Therefore it also blocks on notifications, not only on the timeout. It appears that GTK and Python threads are incompatible UNLESS you call gtk.gdk.threads_init() before gtk.main(). In your case you can do it after the import gtk in contact_list.py. Then it should work. By the way, I wonder why you need a timeout in your wait. I think the notifications should be sufficient to keep the gui updated. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
