I'm a beginning programmer writing a tiny app with a TkInter GUI. Desired functionality: When the user enters a time interval, I want the windows to disappear, and the program to lie dormant until the scheduled time (currently using sched module), when it would pop up another window and execute a command.
Current functionality: When the user clicks through a showinfo() window, root.quit() is executed. As I understand it, the program will then complete the commands that come after root.mainloop(), where I have put schedule.entry(...) and schedule.run(). The problem is that the windows just hang until the schedule event happens. The schedule is using time.sleep as the delay. And I have no idea how I'd create a notification popup when the command runs. Is there any obvious solution to this problem? Or a tricky solution? Should I put the scheduler before root.mainloop()? Can I still kill the main window if I do that? I want the app to be totally silent during the interim period. Thanks for your help Kevin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
