No, this is going too far. Event-driven, asynchronous programming is not limited to GUIs: it is instead a powerful, if a little invasive ;-) , concurrency model. Anyone who "got" Twisted ( http://twistedmatrix.com/ ) will never program the same way again. Drop those threads for good!
Another nice example of event-driven programming is parsing. Some (simple) parsing problems can be nicely implemented in an object-oriented, event-driven way. Toby -- Dr. Toby Donaldson School of Computing Science Simon Fraser University
