[pygtk] Multithreading with Python and GTK

[Andreas Sommer]

Hi,

I'm currently having some problems with the following error:

python: ath.c:193: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock == 
((ath_mutex_t) 0)` failed.

Some info about my system:

Debian lenny 5.0.1 (having apt-get upgrade'd with all stable packages)
Python 2.5.2
libgcrypt 1.4.4-3
python-gtk2 2.12.1-6

For your information, I called gtk.gdk.threads_init() before gtk.main 
(actually at the very beginning of my script). I'm getting this problem 
when using Python threads derived from threading.Thread.

Is it possible at all to use GTK with Python's threading module? Did 
anybody else experience such problems?

Best regards
  Andreas
