It gets called in here:

def getLink(site):
    try:
        #do my link stuff
    except urllib2.HTTPError, e: 
        #print "HTTP request failed with error %d (%s)" % (e.code, e.msg)  
        errorDlg("HTTP request failed with error %d (%s)" % (e.code, e.msg))

The print was just for checking if it really gets there, and it does, so 
the urllib2 stuff works.

The getLink() from above does indeed get called from within a thread, 
not the main loop. Would this be the problem? Because, in the same 
thread, I'm also moving a progressbar and filling up a treeview, and 
they seem to work fine.
