Tkinter and multi-threading

Question

I was using the following code to examine if Tkinter works along with multithreading. But the following code doesn\'t work (the Gui becomes unresponsive as soon as it runs).

Answer 1

It doesn't work because Tkinter doesn't support multithreading. Everything that interacts with a Tkinter widget needs to run in the main thread. If you want to use multithreading, put the GUI in the main thread and your other code in a worker thread, and communicate between them with a thread safe queue.
