Description Tor Andre Myrvoll 2003-02-05 14:59:00 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
Trying to use pygtk2 in a multithreaded python program dont work.

Example

dhcp-2130:WoZ$python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30)
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtk
>>> gtk.threads_init()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
RuntimeError: pygtk threading disabled at compile time
>>>

The effect of this is that _all_ other threads will freeze when 
gtk.mainloop() is run.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start python 
2. import threads/threadings and gtk
3. Start a new thread using either the threads or threading modules
4. Start gtk.mainloop()

Actual Results:  The initial threads will freeze

Expected Results:  All the threads should coexist peacefully

I've been running pygtk2 rebuilt with threads for the past five months and had
no problems.
