I'm not clear on this Chipp - probably as I've never written a plugin. I
have played with wxPython a few years back - but only for standalones...
what I'd like to Grok is exactly how "The VueToolbar does run in it's own
thread, and communicates back and forth
from it to Vue." ? Is this an internal feature of Vue - that is because you
can use embedded python as a scripting language you can use the wxWidgets -
I'd be happy to read up on this if you have any references as I'd really
like to get to know how to create scripted plugins for other applications.
