Hey,<br>
<br>
jap - threads are working - but I didn't test them for any<br>
side effects or locks. As Toni said I don't really need them<br>
ATM...(we'll see ^^)<br>
<br>
Instead of threads I'm working with events.<br>

Ok, so technically it's normal threads, that are serialized via the
GIL. That's just semantics though :)

having a thread that does something else and doesn't call blender might
work ok. then a normal py thing run by blender could communicate with
that.

I believe you have to explicitly release the GIL (and reacquire it) in
the main thread for threads to really work at all. What happens, is
that the extra threads only get run when a python script gets events,
and is pretty much dead the rest of the time.
