I'll be experimenting with pyCurl now.
By replacing the GetThumbnail method with this brainless example, taken from the pyCurl demo:


    def GetThumbnail(self,imgurl):
        class Test:
            def __init__(self):
                self.contents = ''

            def body_callback(self, buf):
                self.contents = self.contents + buf

        self.Log("#1: "+repr(imgurl))
        try:
            t = Test()
            c = pycurl.Curl()
            c.setopt(c.URL, imgurl)
            c.setopt(c.WRITEFUNCTION, t.body_callback)
            self.Log("#2")
            c.perform()
            self.Log("#3")
            c.close()
            self.Log("#4")
            fpath = os.path.join(os.environ["TEMP"],"thumbnail.jpg")
            fout = open(fpath,"wb+")
            self.Log("#5: "+repr(fpath))
            try:
                fout.write(t.contents)
            finally:
                fout.close()
            self.Log("#6")
        except:
            self.Log(traceback.format_exc())
            return
        self.Log("#7")
wx.CallAfter(self.imgProduct.SetPage,"""<html><body><img src="%s"></body></html>"""%fpath)
        self.Log("#8")

Everything works perfectly, in all modes: console, no console, started directly and started in separate thread.

So the problem with urllib must be. Maybe wxPython installs some except hooks, or who knows? If somebody feels up to it, I can start narrowing down the problem to the smallest possible application. But only if someone knows how to debug core code because I don't. Otherwise I'll just use pyCURL.

Thank you for your help!
