Hi All,
I am in the process of learning python. I have a gui that gives the user the option of selecting between two applications to run. Currently each button calls one of these two modules (another python script), using the import command. Since it takes a few minutes for the next gui to pop up, I would like the Status bar at the bottom to say -"Thinking", or to have an oscillating bar.
My problem is that when I push the button, only the first of the two actions is implemented and the second is ignored. Specifically, the text changes but the gui_cc.py module does not get called. I need for them both to occur at the same time. I have attached my code as I am sure my description is confusing. The lines that are commented out are those that change the text. The code works with these lines commented out.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Alexis
