wxPython GUI update with data from a MySQL database

[Alina Ghergu]

Hi there,

I'm currently developing a GUI for a network monitor. I have to plot
data taken from a MySQL database. For GUI I use wxPython, for plotting
Matplotlib. The plotting has to be realtime,  so
I have to query the database periodically. I don't have enough
experience in programming and I would need some advice about the best
approach in this matter.

I tried to solve it using wx.Timer but from time to time MySQL server
doesn't repond to queries. I use one db connection for all my queries.
I also tried a threads approach but because I don't know how to use
them the result was worse.

Any sugestion will be highly apreciated.
