From my experience, mixing Tkinter with threads is a bad idea. As most GUI toolkits, it really doesn't like to be manipulated from different threads, so you might end up getting weird problems or even crashes. By the way, did you try to remove the line out.mainloop() from your 'draw' function? This is the line that blocks the IDLE GUI, since it initiates a secondary event loop that will only exit when you do a out.quit(), so that might be a solution. > BTW, another problem: whenever I call a widget.quit() method, the widget > in question crashes.

The 'quit' method just exits the mainloop. It doesn't destroy the widget. So if your application doesn't actually exit, the widget will just stay there. If you want to destroy the it too, you have to call explicitely widget.destroy(). HTH - Eric - |
