overview = """\
The main issue with multi-threaded GUI programming is the thread safty
of the GUI itself.  On most platforms the GUI is not thread safe and
so any cross platform GUI Toolkit and applications written with it
need to take that into account.

The solution is to only allow interaction with the GUI from a single
thread, but this often severly limits what can be done in an
application and makes it difficult to use additional threads at all.

Since wxPython already makes extensive use of event handlers, it is a
logical extension to allow events to be sent to GUI objects from
alternate threads.  A function called wxPostEvent allows you to do
this.  It accepts an event and an event handler (window) and instead
of sending the event immediately in the current context like
ProcessEvent does, it processes it later from the context of the GUI
thread.
