Re: Cocoa, httplib and threads?

This is getting extremely weird. It turns out that the
thread is hanging on the following line in httplib.py:

       host_enc = self.host.encode("ascii")

where the string being encoded in my test case is
'127.0.0.1'.

I can't for the life of me imagine what the ascii codec
could be doing to cause a thread to block.

Can anyone with more knowledge of the codec system
shed any light?

Some more data points:

* It doesn't happen when Cocoa is used in a simple way
   (just create an NSApplication and call its run() method).

* It also doesn't happen if I just create a PyGUI Application
   object and call its run() method.

So it's something about my big complicated PyGUI app... :-(

This needs to be cross-platform, so I can't rely on anything
Cocoa-specific.
