Either way thanks all of you, I have written my first threaded program, and it does what I need it to perfectly. The only thing i have a problem with now is how to communicate with the thread, I need to send commands such as "play","pause" and the like to it. someone here mentioned queues, but searching the python documentation only have me a description of the queue object. Is there anywhere where I can find out about queues, for people who know python but have not had a lot of experience with threaded programs?
