The safe way to pass information between threads is to use Queue. From  
inside the working thread, you put() an item with enough state  
information. On the main (GUI) thread, you use after() to check for any  
data in the queue, and then update the interfase accordingly.
I think there is a recipe in the Python Cookbook
