I'm writing on a GUI in Python/Tk - I have a subscriber which is listening for image messages and setting a class member variable with the newest image, and a GUI element that needs to use image (after sending a message to move a pan/tilt). On click I use rospy.sleep() to wait for the pan/tilt to settle down before using any images. However, I've noticed that once I call rospy.sleep() inside the click callback, the callback for the image subscriber stops getting called. It was my understanding that subscriber callbacks are run asynchronously in their own thread, so a sleep in a different thread should have no effect. What's going on here? What am I missing? Thanks, -Dan
