If you're going to put a function inside your class (since you're using
self in there, I'm sure that's what you meant to do), you should change it
to:
def change_value_the_time(self):
and call it with
self.display_time.after(20, self.change_value_the_time)
But your program also has unnecessary code. First, since you have a class
then instead of using a global, you should simply declare `self.the_time =
''` in your __init__ for your class.
Personally, I would have written the function more like this:
def update_time(self):
self.display_time.config(text=time.strftime('%H:%M:%S'), font='40')
self.after(20, self.update_time)
Then at the end of my __init__ function I would call self.update_time()
I'm not sure how that will work with your current setup, though.

You can write one very similar to that. Take a look at the time.localtime
method.

Yes - if you click "reply to all" in your email client, that will
