After opining about this on the PyIdeas discuss forum, I spent a few minutes and came up with a simple AsyncTk subclass of tkinter.Tk. Here's its hello world: https://gist.github.com/smontanaro/5e12c557602a76c609e46ca59387ad1c I modified my activity watcher to use it: https://github.com/smontanaro/python-bits/blob/master/src/watch.py A few warnings: 1. copy/paste reuse of that AsyncTk class 2. the code is a mess (it's probably 20-25 years old, I make no apologies for the mess) 3. as of about an hour ago it now uses pynput to watch for mouse/kbd watching So, Tk+asyncio turns out to be fairly easy to do, at least for simple stuff.

For GTK, you can use a dedicated loop policy like this: import asyncio_glib asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio_glib.GLibEventLoopPolicy()) It should be possible to make it this easy for asyncio + tkinter.

asyncio+tkinter
Given that both asyncio & tkinter are modules in the standard lib and both have event loops, I would have expected to find some "best practice" solution to mixing the two. I've not used asyncio, but might find it useful with the pynput module in the context of a Tk app. I see a few solutions out in the wild, but this seems like something which might best be addressed in either the asyncio or tkinter documentation, or better yet, implemented in one or the other.
