Hi Tony,
Thank you very much for your pointer. I think I understand what are you
explaining to me. Do you mind give me some code examples? I am still trying
to grasp the gui programming overall. And it is really over my head. I
really appreciate your help. Thank you
-Ben

Hi Ben,
I've just started gui programming in Python, and my first app needed a
little threading.
It's over my head, so a friend gave me an example, and I integrated it.
The reason for threading in my example- is the same as what Kent
mentioned.
My app is a gui front end to another python program which processes files.
The file processor outputs text, and my gui displays it in a text box.
If it were not for threading, my app would freeze until the app that
I'm calling finished.
Another way to think of it- is using yourself for an example/.
If you were eating dinner, and someone in the room called your name-
you would probably turn your head or walk over to them while you were
chewing a mouthfull :-)
If you didn't respond to them until you were finished eating, they
could not finish what they were doing either.
Does that make sense?
You may not always need threading in a gui app. It just depends on
what you ar edoing, and how long it takes.

Hi all,
I am curious about one thing. I have been doing research on gui
programming.
One thing that I don't understand is why there are some examples uses
threading in the gui examples. Is there any benefits or advantages for
using
the threading in the gui programming? Thanks.
