Not Responding When Dealing with Large Data

[cutey Love]

update_idletasks didn't work.

The code is this

    file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=[('text files', '.txt')], multiple=True, defaultextension=".txt")
    
    for path in file_path:
    
        fo = open(path, "r")
        
        for line in fo:
            if myCase(line.lower()):
                myList.append(line.lower())
        fo.close()
    

def myCase(c):
    
        if c in myList:
            return False
        
        if len(c) < 8 or len(c) > 80:
            return False

return True



This processes a fair bit of data
