Question

I need to run some simple function in multi-threading with a Tkinter GUI, so I’ve tried mtTkinter.

Everything works fine except for a particular: even if I just start the GUI and then I close it without touching nothing some thread keeps running.

In other words; I have this code:

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

#simple GUI code with buttons, labels, text and scrollbars widget
...
...    
root.mainloop()

If I run this code the GUI appears and when I close it this python script ends successfully.

Now if I replace Tkinter with mtTkinter

from mtTkinter import *
root = Tk()

#simple GUI code with buttons, labels, text and scrollbars widget
...
...    
root.mainloop()

the GUI appears once again, but if I close it there is still some thread from mtTkinter that keeps running!

Any help would be apprecied, thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english!

Answer 1

I’ve “resolved” not using it. mTkinter seems to be a bit buggy.
