My application consists of Tkinter GUI that has to communicate with a
remote
server. The communication is bi-directional: the GUI responds to remote
requests and user actions uch as pressing a button) should send messages
to the server. I want to have the network interface implemented as a
separate
thread, as it may take a while to proccess incoming messages. My initial
approach is the following
------ Queue --------------------
| | <------ | asyncore | socket
| GUI | ? |dispatcher_wit h_send| <------------------> server
| | ------> | |
------ --------------------
My question is how to communicate with asyncore (to send a message, or
end the thread)? I started with creating an additional dispatcher class
using unix domain socket, but is seems wrong, why use sockets within the
same process? I might try file_dispatcher around a pipe, but maybe I
should use different design altogether.

I don't know what, if anything, asyncore has for that, but it's
"competitio n" Twisted has something called callFromThread( ). This
method arranges for the specified callable to be called from within
the asynchronous loop at the next opportunity, allowing a separate
thread to communicate back to the objects in the async thread.
Maybe asyncore has something similar? (Checking the docs for it,
I can't see anything that would help.)

You need something selectable to wake asyncore up from its call to
select(). The easiest way to do this is with a pipe. You don't have to
send any actual message over the pipe, though; one byte will be enough to
get asyncore to call back into your code, then you can retrieve the message
from wherever it is (eg, in a Queue.Queue).

#to control asyncore
while 1:
asyncore.loop(. 1)
if not fromgui.empty() :
#handle messages from GUI
Another option is to just have one thread, with the mainloop of Tkinter
do a single asyncore.loop(0 ) call every .01 seconds or so. In wxPython
I'd just use a wxTimer, I don't know if Tkinter has an equivalent.

Yep: use the after method to call a function from the Tkinter main loop after a
given delay. See http://www.pythonware.com/library/tk...-and-other.htm

The above doesn't work for me - asyncore.loop(<anything>) always blocks.
The asyncore.poll(timeout=0.01) functions however works fine. Thus I have:

I'm having trouble with the code below.
It's just a regular Tk text widget in which you can type and

the Text widget (typing, selecting, it doesn't work anymore!)
What am I doing wrong?

Hi there.
Just for the heck of it I'd like to write a simple front-end for an
asyncore-based server I wrote by using Tkinter.
I wrote a simple graphical interface consisting of two buttons: "Start
server" and "Stop server".
The first button should start the asyncore main loop while the second
should obviously stop it.
Actually I can't find a valid solution for doing such a stuff since
this is the first time I'm using a GUI toolkit....
