Basic GUI

[Don Hanlen]

I'm writing a simple GUI that:
..gets info via telnet protocol (and sends)
..gets info via http (and sends)
..gets user-info from (currently)
...Tkinter Text windoze
...Tkinter buttons and such
..displays info in various Tkinter windoze
...graphic AND text...

I can accomplish all of these functions individually and now seem to
need to set up multi-processes to combine 'em.  Back in my C days, I'd
have used fork/exec to do so, but I'm confused by the number of
modules available in Python.  Is there a "best" for portability and
simplicity?  (Or am I on the wrong track here?)

I could solve my problems with the following psuedo-code made into
real code:

import blah

t = blah.fork(runthisprogram.py)

#OK still in main
t.sendinfo(info)
info = t.receiveinfo()

#runthisprogram.py
def sendinfobacktopapa():
? eventhere
def getinfofrompapa():
? eventhere


It seems to me that propagating events *may* be the best way to
communicate.  I'm wide open, including to non-multi-process solutions.

Thanks for your comments, I searched old posts for a while, various
other Python info-sources, and couldn't find an answer.

IDLE internal error in runcode()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\idlelib\rpc.py", line 235, in asyncqueue
self.putmessage((seq, request))
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\idlelib\rpc.py", line 332, in putmessage
n = self.sock.send(s[:BUFSIZE])
error: (10035, 'The socket operation could not complete without
blocking')

Does this look familiar to anyone?  I can't figure out what to do
about it.  Python 2.5, windoze.  I get it when I execute a Tkinter op
that works elsewhere.

changing this:

t = self.b.create_text(
(point.baseX + 1)*self.checkerSize/2 + fudge,
y + fudge,
text = str(point.occupied),
width = self.checkerSize)

to

t = self.b.create_text(
(point.baseX + 1)*self.checkerSize/2 + fudge,
y + fudge,
text = str(point.occupied),
font=("Times", str(self.checkerSize/2), "bold"),
width = self.checkerSize)

for example.  The same code works fine elsewhere.  I thought I'd ask
here before I try (no clue) increasing BUFSIZE in rpc.py?  I'm not
crazy about tinkering with code I have no clue about..
