Call to tkinter.messagebox.showinfo("Test", "test") makes the script hang in Windows 7 with Python 3.2.2 with Timer(2, methodname, ()).start().

This is a serious problem. I REALLY hope that someone on a Windows machine can either confirm the bug by reproducing with provided example code or disprove it. |

The problem can be reproduced on some other platforms depending on the version of Tcl/Tk in use. But the supplied program violates the well-known if not particularly well-documented restriction of tkinter programming that all Tk UI operations must be on the main thread. See, for example, http://effbot.org/zone/tkinter-threads.htm or http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/mtTkinter |

You nailed it. Thank you very much! (I really thought it was a bug, since the code ran well on Linux.) |
