This ticket is for threaded Tcl only, so this is off topic.

In nonthreaded Tcl, this script crashes rather than freezes, for an entire ly 
different reason that I already explained in https://bugs.python.org/issue33257 
.

This ticket is solved if you ask me.
The only remaining matter is that there's no documentation:

* on Tkinter threading model: https://docs.python.org/3/library/tk.html claims 
full thread safety which is untrue.
* on best practices with Tkinter: as you could see, all the more or less 
obvious solutions are flawed. (That includes my solution: the program doesn't 
terminate gracefully if you close the window by hand.)

I'm going to cover at least the first item as part of executing Guido's 
suggestion to "add a warning to the docs".
