There are some events you can use (see the documentation of bind).
This example using the '' event of an Entry works for me (on Linux/X11):
---------------------------------------
from Tkinter import *
def ready(evt):
print 'ready', evt.__dict__
l.delete(0,END)
l.insert(0, 'gui ready')
tk = Tk()
l = Entry(tk, width=20)
l.insert(0, 'building gui')
l.pack()
l.bind('', ready)
tk.mainloop()
---------------------------------------
The problem is: you should use the event callback just to start
the network activity, not monitoring it.
You'll need some kind of threading/subprocesses or other
to do this.
The event types are not well documented in my tk/tcl installation,
so I cannot tell you if '' is the best choice here.
Hope this helps,
