Hi, I'm having some problems with Tkinter doing its own thing (or not) when I try to time events.
for instance: import time import Tkinter as tk def funky(): lbl.config(text='Foo') time.sleep(4) lbl.config(text='Bar') root = tk.Tk() lbl = tk.Label(text = "Click the button to see weirdness") btn = tk.Button(text='Click me', command=funky) lbl.pack() btn.pack() root.mainloop() I'd expect that upon clicking the button the text of the label would change to 'Foo', then it would wait for 4 seconds, and then the text would change to 'Bar'. It doesn't do this - instead, it waits for 4 seconds, and then the text changes to foo, then bar, almost too fast to see. A similar thing happens (or the exact same) if you replace funky with this definition: def funky(): lbl.config(text='Foo') lbl.after(4000, lbl.config(text='Bar')) Am I missing something essential here? Or is this a bug that nobody has encountered yet? I appreciate any help! TIA, Wayne -- To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t. - Primo Levi
