Deal with the threading issue on Snow Leopard #47

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
PyGraphics is not currently compatible with Snow Leopard (OS X) because of a 
threading issue; TkAqua does not allow calls to mainloop on background 
threads, which is required by this program. 

There are multiple ways of solving this issue, and we are investigating them 
to see which is most feasible. In short:
1. Automatically force OS X to use X-11Tk rather than TkAqua, since it does 
not share this quirk.
2. Switch to another windowing system, such as Qt.
3. Release an unthreaded version of PyGraphics. (This is not a good 
solution.)
