I've been away from Python for some time, and I'm just starting to look at Tkinter. Just so you know, I'm coming from Visual Basic, where this would, I *think*, not have been a problem, so it must be a case of getting my head around the Tkinter way of doing things.
In a nutshell, I've written an app wherein I wish to update the display often. What's happening is that I get *no* display until main() hits win.mainloop(). I've indicated the things I've tried (round about line 180). At the risk of exposing myself, here's the whole thing. If you have a thought, I'd sure appreciate it!
