RE: Terminate a thread that doesn't check for events

Thanks for the reply Chris. Are you suggesting running the task in a *separate* process instead of a separate *thread*? Because if that's the case, I will have to share data (and possible memory) between that new process and my "master" process since they depend on one other. Yeah I will sure po

Re: Tkinter, Menu(bar) font size

Yeah. It works on a Sun and Linux, but not Windows. That stinks. We got a bunch of 1400x1050 display laptops in and now I have to run around changing a bunch of programs that looked fine on 1024x768 displays. Thanks! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk tries to u

Class design for parser object

I've been working on a Python class object for APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System - a digital mode used by amateur radio operators) and have been going through David Mertz's Text Processing in Python book to help in the construction of the parser component of the class. I was curious if
