Hello!! I'm really new to python and pygtk and Glade, I'm sorry I'm still on the dark side using Windows 2000 :-(
What I'm trying to do is a simple Testing Program Simulator, that means that I will press a button and then I'm supposed to show a cross or a checkmark after simulating a test. Actually there are 4 tests.
So what I tried to do is to use a thread to run some for loops and time.sleep(1) for some seconds inside each for loop.
Then a textbox changes and an image appears.
The problem is that the program SOMETIMES works as it should, but some other times the GUI freezes and the images don't get loaded.
Sometimes the program seems to keep on running while the GUI freezes, some other times the program execution seems to freeze and the GUI freezes. Sometimes if I press ctrl + C in the console the program seems to go out of some hidden loop and then the GUI unfreezes.
I'm really frustrated, I already read like 5 examples for using threads and I can't find my mistake. Could somebody help me please???
Here's my code:
import pygtk
import gtk
import gtk.glade
import time
import threading
bandera1 = 0
class Sequence(threading.Thread):#subclass Thread
def __init__(self):#make it possible to pass the time in seconds that we want the timer to run
threading.Thread.__init__(self)#call the Thread's constructor
def run(self):#define what we want our Timer thread to do
for i in range(0,4):
time.sleep(1)#time.sleep(self.runTime)#have it sleep for runTime seconds
print '0'
