Multithreading - affichage contenu d'une liste dans le Widget texte [Tkinter] - Stack Overflow

I am trying to create a program that constantly shows the content of a list.

I am using thread since I will make the program be ran by multiple users.

The content of the list will be updated so I used while True:

The ff. code is not working and the Tkinter just hangs.

What is wrong?

from Tkinter import *
import time,thread

class Show():
    def loop(self):
        dummy = []
        while True:
            for index,x in enumerate(self.content):
                x = x.split("-")
                if x[0] not in dummy:
                    firstF = Frame(self.root)
                    secondF = Frame(self.root)
                    firstF.pack()
                    secondF.pack()

                    words = Label(firstF,text="Title:")
                    words.pack(side=LEFT)
                    theLabel = Label(firstF,text=x[0])
                    theLabel.pack(side=LEFT)
                    theContent = Text(secondF)
                    theContent.insert(INSERT, x[1])
                    theContent.configure(state=DISABLED)
                    theContent.pack()
                    dummy.append(x[0])
                else:
                    pass
            time.sleep(1)
    def run(self):
        self.root = Tk()
        self.root.title("EXPERIMENT")
        self.root.grid()

        self.content = ["Hello-1","Foo-2","Bar-3"]
        self.a = thread.start_new_thread(self.loop,())
        self.root.mainloop()

A = Show()
A.run()

---

The code just works fine without the Text widget.

Can anyone teach me what went wrong and how to fix it?

I found out that the reason behind the freezing is due to theContent.insert....

But I still do not know how to fix it.

• I am looking for a solution to create Text widget based on the length of the self.content in such that when for x in self.content, x is splitted, the x[0] goes to top and x[1] will be put in the Text widget
