Python GUIs: Abandoning TkInter and welcoming wxPython?

[Ernst-Udo Wallenborn]

To ask a completely different question: What about
threads and GUI? With Tkinter you have to rewirte the
mainloop like this

    def mainloop(self):
        while 1:
            Frame.update(self)
            time.sleep(0.02)
            if self.quitting == 1:
                sys.exit(0)


to convince it to run with thread or threading.  I remember having
read a comment from Guido van Rossum, citing Jan Osterhout that Tk
will never be thread-safe and that therefore this problem will not go
away.

Would this be any different with a different GUI kit?
