threading with wx

Hi there.

I am in an interesting situation where I am using feedpasser in an RSS program alongside wx python.

Obviously, however, the feedpasser causes wx to freeze while it loads.

i was curious as to whether you guys had some tips on how I could use threading to solve this?

Code examples would be appreciated, as threading is rather a new subject for me.

Thanks a lot!

See here:

An alternative would be to use asyncio, but I'm not sure about the status of asyncio in wxPython.
It was discussed some time ago: http://wxpython-users.1045709.n5.nabble.com/wxpython-and-asyncio-td5728794.html#a5728819
