Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

what do you mean by non-blocking?

#

why can't you just run the GUI in a separate thread and do the non-blocking stuff in the other thread?

Or end the command with & to run it in the background

im not sure i understand

Oh. You're using windows?

#

Surely there's an equivalent

i am currently using asyncio, and tried setting up tk with it, it does not work for what i want
and gives me errors

#

i will try again with threads this time

might look unfamilar having to use asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe() and callbacks, but thats the basis for communicating without blocking their event loops
