Kent, Thanks. this is great. Yes, when i start the thread, i also pass the gtk object to it. kinda like this.
serial_1 = Serial1(self.serial_1_buffer, self.serial_1_view) serial_1.start() so i am wanting to change that, but i do not exactly know how to stop a thread once i have it running, so that i could start another one. anyway, thanks for the link and the info, i am going to get started on testing this right away. This long a .py script is becomming a headache and i think it will be easier by far if it is pulled apart somewhat. thanks again shawn On 12/30/06, Kent Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If they are global objects then you will have a problem. If they are passed to the threads as parameters then it should be fine. > If i had a thread outside of the main file, could i pass a gtk object to > it so that it could write to it when it needed too?

You will also have to recreate any objects that were created from classes in the module so they become instances of the modified module.
