So probably it should be improved, or changed a bit, to work also on
Windows. Or perhaps it's Tkinter. Anyway, what I'm saying is - don't
use threads! Process events in the main thread while it doesn't run
the user's Python code. If he runs another thread - that's his
problem. The implicit event loop should never execute Python code
while a user's Python code is running in the main thread.
