Hello, I asked for help in another location and it solved my problem, but the
only problem is I don't fully understand the after function. Here is part of
the
code that was given to me.
def print_label_slowly(self, message):
'''Print a label one character at a time using the event loop'''
t = self.label.cget("text")
t += message[0]
self.label.config(text=t)
if len(message) > 1:
self.after(500, self.print_label_slowly, message[1:])
I understand it, and the gist of how it works, but the self.after... I can not
find any documentation on it (because after is such a common word), so can you
guys tell me how it works. Is this a built in function (didn't see it on the
built in function list)? Does it always take 3 arguements? Is this a user made
function and I'm just overlooking where it was defined at?

What is it about you... that intrigues me so?
