Hi,
I'm new to python and have been playing around with it for a few days
now. So please forgive me if this is a stupid question :)
I've tried writing a little application with pygtk and urllib. When a
button is clicked I create a new thread that opens an URL with urllib.
The new thread is running but as soon as I call
urllib.urlopen("https://someurl";, postdata) it blocks. It blocks until
I do something in the interface (e.g. click another button). I've
obviously missed something here. The interface should not interfere
with anything that runs in an other thread!?
Here are a few extracts from my code:
def send_message(self, widget, data=None):
# This is called when the button is clicked ...
threading.Thread(target=message.send).start() ...
def send(self):
# This is executed in its own thread
...
postdata = urllib.urlencode(data) # This line is the last one
executed
resp = urllib.urlopen('https://theurl', postdata)
Regards, Dominik.
