BTW in addition to my last message, you might want to create an ExitHandler that delete the event source. Also, you might add more code to the TkinterSetupProc to only set a block time if multiple threads are actually used (or only create the event source at that time). This would make simple Tkinter apps be efficient and snappy all the time.

I'm not sure this will be necessary (provided I get this to work at all); after all, all that the timeout will do is to setup the event loop 50 times in a second. Computers should have no problems with that these days; in a snappy Tkinter app, there will be much more than 50 events per second. Furthermore, such a change would not affect snappiness at all, only efficiency (and only slightly so).
