Oh, I don't. But fair's fair - we've carried our share of the burden, surely?

One thing that you might want to do is to use a dictionary to provide
the values, like so:
my_values =
7;,...]

What's the difference between ctypes, SWIG and SIP?
I've used SWIG to "convert" C source to Python (as I believe SIP
does?), so does ctypes wrap functions from binaries (e.g. DLL's)?

I'm writing a PyQt network client for XMMS, using the InetCtrl plugin,
that on connection receives a track length.
To save on bandwidth, I don't want to be continually querying the
server for updates (e.g. has the current track finished yet?) so I
figured the best thing to do is just update after
I don't think time.sleep() will work too well, I think it will cause
the program to hang around in the foreground, and prevent the GUI
updating.
I'll give it a try just to make sure, as I can't figure out the
signal/alarm thing (the alarm only seems to trigger when I click a
button, not after n-se
Damn! signal is not supported on Windows.
time.sleep() doesn't work, as I suspected::
def info(self):
sleep(5)
self.info()
Basically causes the function to pause, then call itself again, all in
the foreground :-(
I'm thinking some sort of thread timer is the way to go, but really

Hmm, yes I had thought of looking around PyQt for a timer, forgot about
it though.
As far as querying the server every few seconds, it does make sense
(you don't miss events) and is the recommended way of doing things with
InetCtrl, but I'd prefer to save the bandwidth/server load than have

OK, I've implemented the 2sec threaded update, but I'm having some
problems with it.
Basically the thread will have to just run constantly, never exiting
(just sleeping for 2secs), which seems to work OK except when I try to
get the thread to do anything with the main program's window.
As the thr
Damn, seems Qt GUI objects (windgets) aren't thread-safe:

So I'm going to have to find a way of using a thread to fetch the data,
and then using the main program to update the GUI... Someone suggested
using events:
