Transferring argument to a thread issues

[msloat]

Hello,

First off, I have been working on a phone app to read back what some of my props are doing. The App can also send commands to my props. I have a tkinter form of it that works great. Even sends the command and they work. And I actually use the same code and it works great on tkinter. I am now using Kivy so I can make an App for my phone. My problem is I am getting this error when I open a listening thread. Not sure why. I can connect to the server but when I start listening for data, I get this error. There is a part where I know it might not work because it more tkinter than kivy, but I don't think that is why is it complaining. Can someone take a look at this and tell me what you think is wrong. Thank you.

You will see where I put goofy print statements all over. That is just me tracing the program.

Its taken me a bit but I think I figured it out.I stopped trying to give an arugument for the thread, I took it out and made sure the "so" variable had all the information in it.

Thanks guys.
