Hi,

for those interested, I just posted a recipe on the activestate.com python cookbook about how to get wxPython running with Twisted withoud having blocked menu's and modal dialogs.

It's a simple and dirty hack, but it's working on linux and win (basically all systems using the default select reactor)

Is there any reason why you aren't using the twisted.internet.wxsupport module?

Yes, it doesn't work. :-) wxPython (as does wxWindows) uses private eventloops for menus and modal dialogs. This means whenever you open a modal dialog or a menu, the main eventloop will freeze and wait for the child eventloop (the one of the menu or modal dialog) to finish. Since wxsupport only emulates the main eventloop it will be stuck until you close the dialog.
