Hi Tim,

I know I don't answer directly to your question, but we have already made a small application with AsyncIO + Quamash:
https://github.com/harvimt/quamash
It uses Qt for the rendering.

To my little experience it works pretty well, and for my point of view, Qt rendering is nicer than tk.
And Qt is LGPL since a long time ago, no more license issues like in the past.

Regards.

Hi I am trying to build an application on the raspberry Pi using python3.6 and tkinter for the GUI. It is an entry system for a community project and so I need to be able to receive FOB swipe data into the application which is running a tkinter user interface.

Any who I have all the components working ok but can't seem to get them to work together. I am trying to use asyncio but keep clashing with the tkinter event loop, so my question is can the asyncio loop work cooperatively with the tkinter loop?

Do I need to create a seperate thread, or is there some other solution available?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Regards tim
