Tk mainloop()

[dan]

I asked this question yesterday (see prev. thread about calling TCL
from Py & V.V) -- the solution I came up with from responses & looking
at some old posts:

instead of foobar.mainloop(), do this:
 
while quitflag==0    #set this to 1 somewhere to quit
  yourcodehere()     #whatever needs to be done
  foobar.update()    #equivalent to TCL_DoOneCall()?or try
_Tkinter.doonecall()
  time.sleep(0.01)   #allow the Tkinter thread to run

Only problem I'm having right now is occasional crash on breakdown but
I think I just have to give Tk more time to close up shop.
