Thank you Peter,

My game of life project is written for wxpython rather than tkinter. I 
use wxpython's time event to do the cell generation calculations which 
is intense enough to cause my old laptop to run hot fairly quickly and 
the GUI to become sluggish. I use the GUI to select different seed 
patterns and adjust the speed of cell generation while it's running.

I've used threads in C++ and so I thought that would be the answer under 
tkinter but... It's not something that occupies much of my time, I was 
just wondering.
