The other thing you can do is put in a heap of print() calls in 
strategic places. See if you can get a handle on what its doing when it 
freezes. This might be iterative, zooming in on where this happens, if 
it's a specific thing.

I know this is vague. Once you find its stalling in a particular 
function (if it is) you may be able to run that function directly. Also, 
a print() at the top abd bottom/return of the stalling function. And so 
on.

If the GUI freezes, maybe you're running something time consuming inline 
in the event loop, such that it blocks reaching the "idle" point where 
the tk gui updates widgets and polls for user actions.
