As I said in another discussion, I had problems with my papywizard app - 
that's why I was looking for windows developpers.

But searching on py2exe wiki, I found that:

   http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndPyGTK

In this example, gtk.threads_enter()/gtk.threads_leave() are arround the 
entire code, and not only in critical section. I did that, and all works 
fine, instead of freezing on gtk.main() call :o)

I also have a serializer, to push PyGTK events from external thread, and 
have them executed in the gtk mainloop.

Hope this helps.
