[wxPython-users] standard output

>  What does exactly this function do?

Yield() is  a wx.App method, so you can find its docs under wx.App in:

http://www.wxpython.org/onlinedocs.php

Here is some of what it says:

"""
Yields control to pending messages in the windowing system. This can be 
useful, for example, when a time-consuming process writes to a text 
window. Without an occasional yield, the text window will not be updated 
properly
"""

Essentially, it flushed the Events stack, processing all the events that 
have piled up there. It's very useful for keeping the ap responsive, and 
making sure things get updated when there is a lot going on.
