Python: asyncio and Tkinter

I am looking for an "elegant" and "official" way to use asyncio in Tkinter applications. The goal is that the GUI is not freezing while doing some download-tasks (over 100 files from different locations). I am looking around on the web for solutions but couldn't find one. Only some workarounds wit

binary decision diagrams

Hello everybody: I really don't know anything about Python (I'm using Mathematica) but with the help of others learned that g=expr2bdd(f) makes the BDD (=binary decision diagram) g of a Boolean function f. But what is the easiest (fool-proof) way to print out a diagram of g ? Regards, Marcel

Problems with imports on multiple threads, with embedded Python

Hi all, I have a multithreaded application using an embedded Python 3.6.4 (upgraded from 3.6.2 today in the hope that the problem was now solved: it doesn't seem to be). The standard library is in a zip file. So long as only one thread is running Python at a time it seems to work fine. But ther

Using the variable type annotation syntax as a placeholder in a nonlocal scope?

I've asked the same question on StackOverflow, but it seems to me that it is opinion based and will be ignored. So I ask for advice here: Since PEP 526 -- Syntax for Variable Annotations was approved, in Python 3.6+ it is possible to provide type hint i

property decorator?

I am trying to work through the concept of the @property decorator with respect to object oriented programming. I believe that I understand how the @property and @.setter work - and that they are used to turn what looks like direct access to instance variables into method calls in an object.
