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.

Mainloop blocks everything because it makes the gui listen to events in the current thread. Meaning it's busy. You gotta make another thread to have both gui and something running in the background at the same time

Mainloop is called like that because internally it's literally a loop - loop ends only of the main window closes, otherwise it checks for events (clicking buttons, keys, mouse events, etc), does stuff related to those events... then checks for new events.

so another thread seem a good deal but idek how it works

You gotta learn about threading. Idk what's a good resource for that. I think realpython had some explanation about threading 🤔 but I'm not sure, I've never taught anyone about those, and I learned threads before I learned python...
