Thanks very much to all those who responded to me and thanks to my good
buddy and Python wiz, Kirke. I've included my code below, which
periodically checks if a file is changed, and if so, it changes the
image displayed in a window. The trick (as suggested) was to use "after"
to get the event to re
Yes, you are right. Solution without Tkinter usage is also possible. File
watcher can be created
on pure Python implementation:

Sorry I forgot this issue because this thread is a [Tkinter-discuss] :)

The only way I know of to do this is to use "after" to invoke a function which does the
file checking and whatever else is required. That function sets another "after" - with
perhaps a one second delay or whatever seems appropriate - to invoke itself. Thus the function is
invoked repeatedly to
Hi Lawrence,
File system events are not a part of tk library so Tkinter doesn't process
such events.
Nevertheless native _tkinter library contains two file event related
procedures - createfilehandler() and deletefilehandler()
So you can try finding samples how to use these functions. For example:
I'm trying to figure out if Python and Tkinter can offer a solution to
my following problem. I want to monitor a file and when that file is
changed, I want to detect that event and have my window change its text
from "File Unchanged" to "File has Changed."
That is, I can produce a function to
