[Tkinter-discuss] Minimizing a Python/Tk application

[Gerardo Juarez]

Thanks Francois,

Multiple threads are always trickier. On the other hand, wxpython could be
the solution, but I wish it could be done in Tk, because I already have
the multiplatform program written and it would save me redoing it just for
Windows. And also see my previous message.
