Terry J. Reedy added the comment: With respect to threading: I have close to 0 experience. I know that tkinter is supposed to be 'thread-safe' (Martin Loewis) and that people have real problems mixing threads with tkinter. If you can create a minimal complete verifiable example (SO MCVE), try asking on python-list, or SO, so you can reach people who do know threading.
I suppose you can already guess my thought: for a first draft, block and let users wait. For anything I have done with pip, that would not be very long. I have done preliminary successful experiments with integrating asyncio and tkinter loop. When I posted to the python-ideas thread on the subject, I got no response, so I moved on. Perhaps I should work on it some more, but I am also busy with IDLE. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
