The way I do it is use a .after event in the main tkinter loop to check a queue every 20 msec or so. Other threads send commands through the queue. I usually pass commands as tuples (func, *args, **kw) so that the .after handler simply calls the func on the args. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
