using wxPython events inside a loop

[Mr BigSmoke]

I'm writting an applicatio that that does something like this:

class batchSpy(wx.Frame):

def __init__(self, parent):

wx.Frame.__init__( self, None, -1, "Batch Spy", pos = (0,0),
size = mySize)
.... do layout ...

self.searchAlarms()

def searchAlarms(self):
for alm in self.alarms: # self.alarms is a list of
strings
self.almBox.WriteText(alm) #Alm box is a
wx.TextCtrl widget...
self.Refresh()

I Know that writing like this my wxFrame just freeze. I've tried usind
wxTimer event but it doesn't help... Any hint?

Use a thread if possible, or invoke the wx-event-loop periodically. No idea
how to do that in wx though - but google should help.

Hello BigSmoke,

You can process one at a time in an "OnIdle" handler, this way you'll
work only when the application is doing nothing.
