One way to prevent blocking the main loop in wxPython is by using threading. This involves creating a separate thread to run tasks that may take a long time to execute, such as network operations or file I/O. By running these tasks in a separate thread, the main GUI thread can continue to respond to user input and update the interface without being blocked.To use threading in wxPython, you can create a subclass of the threading.

To make tabbing between fields work in a frame in wxPython, you need to set the focus to the next field when the tab key is pressed. You can achieve this by binding the EVT_CHAR event to the frame and checking if the key pressed is the tab key. If it is, you can call the SetFocus method on the next field to set the focus to that field. This way, when the tab key is pressed, the focus will move to the next field in the frame.
