thanks, in one of these articles it says. 'Be careful - Tkinter in not re-entrant'. MAybe this is the problem? So far I've tried
(1) Label(mainframe.update_idletasks(),textvariable=best,bg='#321000',fg='#000fff000',font=("Helvetica",x1)).grid(column=1,row=1) and (2) mainframe = Frame(root) mainframe.grid(column=1000, row=1000, sticky=(N, W, E, S)) mainframe.columnconfigure(0, weight=1) mainframe.rowconfigure(0, weight=1) mainframe.update() Neither worked, of course, otherwise I woudln't be posting it) I'm not using any classes 2010/8/18 Cameron Laird <came...@phaseit.net> > On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 12:50:38AM +1200, Alex Ter-Sarkissov wrote: > . > . > . > > I have some elements on the screen (Labels, most importantly) which > content > > has to be updated every iteration of the algorithm run, e.g. "Iteration > =" > > [i] for i in range(n).
