python - Multiple wx.Yield() alternative -

i have wxpython gui application reads growing text file , prints wx.textctrl window. need have 2 of these running @ same time, bumping wxyield called recursively error. there easy alternative wx.yield allow me run multiples please?

self.running_log = wx.textctrl(self, -1, pos=(5, 5), size=(875,605),                                        style = wx.te_multiline|wx.te_readonly|wx.hscroll)  while true:     wx.yield()     filesize = os.path.getsize(logpath)     if filesize > lastsize:         lines = infile.readlines()         newlines = 0         line in lines[lastlineindex:]:             newlines += 1             print line.rstrip()         self.running_log.appendtext(line) 

have @ wxpython wiki: longrunningtasks. there you'll see 2 alternatives using wxyield: threading or putting processing evt_idle handler.

but since you're using wxyield, let me suggest solution can try before changing else: use flag indicate whether running or not. if flag true, don't let code execute wxyield again.

when call wx.yield(), wxpython take control , process events needs take care of. when finished, long running task proceed again, right after yield call. can put processing in loop , let spin there long needs to. adding flag limit entry point yield is. when processing has finished release 'lock' toggling flag, , entry point of code changes actual method invocation again.

something along lines of:

if not running:     running = true     while true:         wx.yield()         filesize = os.path.getsize(self.logpath)         if filesize > lastsize:             lines = infile.readlines()             newlines = 0             line in lines[lastlineindex:]:                 newlines += 1                 self.running_log.appendtext(line)         # when finished, set running false , break 

note might idea check how getsize called. if happens limit ensuring short amount of time has elapsed, avoid excessive calls slowing down system.
