If you use threads that update the GUI, you need to take a look at the
following wiki page:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/LongRunningTasks

I've used the techniques therein and they *just work*. I'm not sure if
you can set values on items in a list or not. I've tried that sort of
thing and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

The wxPython group is probably the best place to ask these questions
anyway: http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php
