"""
This demonstrates a simple use of delayedresult: get/compute 
something that takes a long time, without hanging the GUI while this
is taking place. 

The top button runs a small GUI that uses wx.lib.delayedresult.startWorker
to wrap a long-running function into a separate thread. Just click
Get, and move the slider, and click Get and Abort a few times, and
observe that GUI responds. The key functions to look for in the code
are startWorker() and __handleResult().

The second button runs the same GUI, but without delayedresult.  Click
Get: now the get/compute is taking place in main thread, so the GUI
does not respond to user actions until worker function returns, it's
not even possible to Abort.
