Mark,
One way of doing this would be to run the thing as a service, as Andrae
pointed out. Another would be to run the GUI element and the scan element in
separate threads.

Starting the threads up isn't too complicated - see the effbot's "Python
Standard Library" for an example. (You can look at my copy - I'm only up the
stairs, after all. <wink>)

But then you need to get your two threads to communicate. I don't know how
to do this, but I'd have a look at the Queue module if I were you.

Good hunting!
