thread and processes with python/GTK

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,

how do you start the python app? Goes stdout
to a terminal or a pipe?

"python script.py"
and "python script.py | cat" behave different.

Maybe "sys.stdout.flush()" helps you.

BTW, I switched from threads to idle_add for pygtk
applications.
