I did something like that a while back, putting tkinter in its own thread but also using its .after() method to wake up the tkinter loop every 50 msec or something like that. I didn't notice any significant cpu load or UI lag from that, and it was on a fairly slow machine (300 mhz ARM, I think). The tkinter thread received callbacks from tkinter and passed them on to the application's main dispatch loop through a normal Python queue. So there was no need to patch the tkinter C code. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
