A thread *is* basically the right answer, though; so why does wxPython need
an "answer"? Python has one.

Alternatively, let the GUI load (and don't do the long-running-task) and
then do the long running task in an idle handler within the GUI. A bit at a
time.

Alternatively, from within the long-running-task, regularly do:

   if myApp.Pending():
       myApp.Dispatch()

That'll handle any pending UI events (so the main UI is responsive). But you
need to call it regularly during your main task-- if you don't want a
separate thread.

Is there a better place to ask?
