  All Tkinter calls must be made in the main thread.  Perhaps you can solve
this problem by making the showinfo call in the main thread and running your
own code in another thread, or perhaps you can solve it by displaying GUI
widgets using non-blocking APIs, thus obviating the need for threads at all.
