[wingide-users] Perplexed

[Brian Rowlands (Greymouth High School)]

Hi Folks
New to both Wing IDE and Python and busily trying to get my head around
threads when I tried a simple example off the WWW.

It falls over in Wing IDE but the author assures me it works fine when
he tested it after I wrote to him. He had someone else test it and it
worked too on a windows platform ( which is what I'm using).

Wind IDE Personal doesn't report any errors.

Am I allowed to ask if someone could test it via their IDE and let me
know the results please?

If so, code is shown below.

Thanks

Brian
