When talking about anything advanced with wxPython, you usually want
to submit it to the wxPython user's group. Lots of advanced users
(including the author of wxPython) answer questions there.

I would recommend looking at the following link as this will probably
be one of the first suggestions:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/LongRunningTasks?highlight=%28task%29%7C%28longrunning%29

wxPython mailing list: http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php

I used a variation of one of the threading example in the
LongRunningTasks page to send output to a text widget, through stdout
redirection.

Good luck!
