Do you have a test case to show the problem?

The thread doesn't actually start until needed. However, there are some python calls before then to initialize things that can be postponed until just before the thread is started.

Utkarsh,

If pqPythonEventSource does not initialize python until the python testing thread starts, that would be great. With the assumption that python testing will never be used if the python shell or python programmable filter are used, we can totally get rid of the multi-threading support.

Try this out. I didn't know how to reproduce these problems, so ... hope it works for you.
