Instead of the strings "searching", "writing result", and "done" you could put search results into the queue and display them in a Text widget. To signal when you're done you can use an out-of-band value, typically None. See also <http://effbot.org/zone/tkinter-threads.htm>. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
