access properties of parent widget in Tkinter

[Silvia Rovati]

Hi.
I think that using "backgrounding" doesn't solve your problem. I suppose
that you must fork the processes to let them run independently and
separately.
Best regards
Silvia

Personally I think it is bad design for a widget to assume anything about
its enclosing environment. What about passing a StringVar or IntVar to the
child widget and letting it work with that?
