You could check from time to time using after(ms, callback). After your callback is called, you have to re-eschedule the check, using after(ms, callback) again. If you don't want to depend on tcl for this, you could use inotify (pyinotify) if you are using Linux. > > Thanks, > > marco > _______________________________________________ > Tkinter-discuss mailing list > Tkinter-discuss@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss > -- -- Guilherme H.
