[Kent Johnson] Here are some more resources for you. This cookbook recipe is very similar to what you want to do, just customize workerThread1 to do the actual work. It shows how to use a Queue to communicate back to the GUI thread. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/82965
Here are a couple of thread pool recipes - these will be useful if you decide you need multiple threads. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/203871 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/435883 Kent, Thank you for the tips and links. I'm using Pyqt and the top link above has an example modified specifically for Pyqt, so that worked out nice! As you stated, threading is complex (as I am now finding out), so I will have to study these examples. Thanks again!
