Integrate python's built-in tkinter library with the asyncio framework

asynctkinter

Integrate python's built-in tkinter library with the asyncio framework. This module also contains a simple workaround to bypass tkinter's master-child-window restrictions (that you always have to have exactly one root window).

Installation

Just copy the "asynctkinter.py" file into your project and import it. This module only works for Python 3.

Usage

Basic usage is simple:

import asyncio
import asynctkinter as atk


async def my_background_task():
  while True:
    print("This runs too, concurrently!")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)


async def main():
  asyncio.create_task(my_background_taks())

  win = atk.Tk(title="My Window!")
  await win.mainloop()


asyncio.run(main())

Asynctkinter also contains some utilities for custom events and asynchronous callbacks. Just take a look at the source code, it's all well documentated and clear and contains more usage examples.
