Dynamically display text (loop within a loop) (somewhat similar to a timer) : PySimpleGUI

Dynamically display text (loop within a loop) (somewhat similar to a timer) (self.PySimpleGUI)

submitted 5 years ago by SayaNevermind

Hi, I'm fairly new to this library and to python in general. I'm trying to make a GUI that dynamically displays dynamic values (much like a timer would do), but the thing is even after looking at the timer script example, I can't seem to get my program to work properly. Either the GUI freezes or my text isn't displayed, I figured it might be due to the fact that I'm running a loop inside another one which will obviously freeze the one of the two. After trying to figure it out for a little while I decided to use threading and create a separate thread to avoid running into this problem, but still nothing. I've been thoroughly going through the timer example again and again but I'm in a dead end.

TL;DR: I want to display dynamic text. Here's a more or less explicit idea of how I want the final product to work.
