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 severely 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 wx.PostEvent 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.
