I have adapted this demo from an example that I have found on wxPython in Action (always saint was who wrote it) because I need to cyclically read some files from a directory.
To the start button I read the names of the files of the current directory and I write them on the wx.TextCtrl together with my sentinel value self.check.
When I press the stop button I would expect me that the thread was stopped immediately, instead the reading/writing engages continuous even if the value of self.check correctly changes to False.
Besides, when I close the frame I control before if the thread is active (isAlive()) but happens it(the frame) enters a catatonic state…I’m on debian.
In practice I would expect me that when I set self.check to False the thread was more responsivos.
You only test self.check once you're done printing all the files in
the current directory. If there's a lot of files this can take a long
time. Add this immediately after "for file_name in
os.listdir(directory)":
if not self.check:
break
