After more thought, I'm leaving the existing tour mostly as-is and just making minor fixups such as expanding the example. The tour is supposed to provide a brief introduction and not try to cover all that is known. Several of the topics exceed my experience and some really need the collective experiences of various implementers, teachers, etc. So, it might be worthwhile to have a wiki to collect the useful thoughts and use that as a basis for improving the rest of the docs.

One of many GUI examples, lyntin uses a Queue.Queue for synchronization between the tk/wx/whatever GUI thread, the telnet thread, and execution including interactive debugger goodness. http://sf.net/projects/lyntin/
