Dave's right, you can't use python threads in the paraview python shell. After your while loop exits, control is returned to the Qt event loop and the python thread has no chance to cycle. It might work if you try pvpython instead.<br>
<br>You could also try a plugin I wrote last year... you have to compile it, but then you can do everything from python, no additional recompiling. It adds UI for creating remote control sockets in the paraview gui, and all character data received on the socket is executed directly in the python shell. I just put it up on github:<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I want to use a tablet (android) to control the GUI (rotation, pan, zoom) in paraview.<br>
In the python shell a made network connection (socket) the sent command that I translate into paraview commands (this work ok).<br>
<br>
The problem is that the GUI is not respond to the user iterations during the network iteration (I have a while loop in the python):<br>
<br>
so the idea was to create a thread to treat all the network commands, but the code in the second thread is executed only for the time the main thread is running.<br>
a example code is attached (very little code).<br>
<br>
can I use threads inside paraview python shell, or I have to use c++??? (I prefer python, no need to recompile)<span><font color="#888888"><br>
