How do I Block Events in wxPython

[zeph]

The wxPython wiki actually has a page on dealing with long running
tasks called from event handlers called (surprise surprise):
http://wiki.wxpython.org/LongRunningTasks

Hint: the second to last example on that page has the clearest example
- using a worker thread object to do your DoEfficiency() function.

I also don't think you want to disable so many event handlers, do
you?  Nothing will respond to inputs as long as that process is
running (assuming you aren't running it in another thread.)
