 From my experience, Tkinter works with multi-thread on Windows, as long as you 
keep calls to Tkinter in the thread where it was initialized. We use the method 
event_generate on Tkinter widgets and Queues to make other threads communicate 
with the thread where Tkinter runs, and it works without (too much...) problems.

Can you give you precisions on what are you doing exactly?
