@KOLANICH what is the right way to install packages and plugins?

yxdragon commented 5 years ago

@KOLANICH that is because, pip can only run in main thread, which cause a ui dead.

yxdragon commented 5 years ago

"Plugin > Update Software" need a better solution too. do you have some advice?

KOLANICH commented 5 years ago

os.fork may help. You may want to separate the main process, the process you have plugins manager GUI in and the process you use pip from. Plese note that on Windows os.fork assummes certain structure of the module the call is situated in.
