I'm pretty sure the book "Programming Python 3rd Ed." by Lutz covers
this stuff in detail. I think it mentions using threads for this sort
of thing. The wxPython wiki has a good example that I think you could
adapt for Tkinter. Just use the threading code and wrap it in your
Tkinter code and I think you'll be good to go. Here's the link:

Good luck,
