[PyQt] QThread, suggestions.

[Brian Kelley]

If you happen to be using python 2.6, multiprocessing is your friend.

It is very easy to use and because it runs in a separate process, there is no global interpreter lock.  Way, way, way better than threading for a lot of cases.  If it crashes, the main program doesn't go down.

In java they have the "SwingWorker" class and I thought of a way to
implement something similar in python.  Here is the code:

I use this for starting long running processes.  Here is an example of
how I have used it.

I was curious for some input, It seems threads are often abused and I
don't want to be doing too much abusing.
