Yes, you have to call mainloop in the separate thread. Be careful because tkinter is not thread safe. You have to communicate with the gui thread through some synchronized mechanism like queues. I usually use the w.after operation to make a polling loop that checks a queue for gui-updating events. The events themselves are just callables that do gui operations when called. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
