[pygtk] Threads in PyGTK: keep typing while ping-ing

Your second idea is also very interesting. I tried and everything is working perfectly. The only drawback is the ping process become very slow :) But no problem on GUI drawing :)

Previously, i always think that i have to start many threads, each to ping one host (or do anything else). 

I note that i have to sleep for several hundreds ms. If i do not sleep, the ping become messed up (skipping some hosts, etc). Is it because it run too fast (especially for reply host)?
