<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 521881 by <a href="/recipes/users/4060075/">Thomas Ahle</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/blocking/">blocking</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/glib/">glib</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/gtk/">gtk</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/swingworker/">swingworker</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/threads/">threads</a>). </p> <p>I got inspired to this class, after having read about the java SwingWorker. The problem is that you sometimes have a tough task you want to do in a GUI program, but you don't want the UI to lock. This recipe solves the problem by running the tough code in a background thread, while still letting you do useful interaction with it, like getting the progress or the latest results.</p>
