Tkinter help, please...

[Medi Ochre]

I've been away from Python for some time, and I'm just starting to look
at Tkinter. Just so you know, I'm coming from Visual Basic, where this
would, I *think*, not have been a problem, so it must be a case of
getting my head around the Tkinter way of doing things.

In a nutshell, I've written an app wherein I wish to update the display
often. What's happening is that I get *no* display until main() hits
win.mainloop(). I've indicated the things I've tried (round about line
180). At the risk of exposing myself, here's the whole thing.

If you have a thought, I'd sure appreciate it!

Nick.

I've made a couple of minor changes to your code from the Cribbage class
down:

class Cribbage:
def __init__(self, win):

self.parent = win # <---- make the toplevel Tk window an
# <---- attribute of the class
#Draw the interface
self.f = Frame(self.parent)
self.f.grid()
self.cardpix = [Label(self.f), Label(self.f), Label(self.f),
Label(self.f), Label(self.f)]
clr = ["red", "blue"]
n = 1
for c in self.cardpix:
c.configure(width=10, height=10, bg=clr[n%2], text="card
"+str(n))
c.grid(row=0, column=n-1)
n += 1
self.scorebox = Label(self.f)
self.scorebox.configure(height=5, bg="green", text="Score: 0")
self.scorebox.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=5)

def play(self):
d = Deck()
hand = [d.deal(), d.deal(), d.deal(), d.deal()]
flipped = d.deal()
hand.append(flipped)
hand.sort()
score = tally(hand, flipped)
self.scorebox.configure(text= "Score: " + str(score))
#Eventually, display the actual card images, but for now...
for c, x in zip(hand, self.cardpix):
x.configure(text = str(c))
#I've tried both of these, to no avail.
self.parent.update() <---- update the toplevel window
return score

def main():
win = Tk()
run = Cribbage(win)
score = 0
best = 0
while score < 24:
score = run.play()
if score >= best: best = score
time.sleep(1) <--- short sleep to see what's happening
win.mainloop()

main()

Thank you, Mr. McMonagle!

def main():
win = Tk()

score = 0
best = 0
while score < 24:
score = run.play(win)
if score >= best: best = score
win.mainloop()

mainloop() is the code that dispatches GUI events to event handlers.
Essentially, you need to move that while loop inside of the event
processing...

(Watch out for line wraps) Something like:
