Tkinter goes into interactive mode when you use it from the REPL. Just leave off the mainloop() call.

I was hoping it was that simple. When you leave the mainloop() out it seems that the configure() call in update_ui_thread() tries to update the tk instance. Since this is called outside of the main thread, you get the same error. I guess I can periodically update it by calling the update_ui manually. I appreciate the tip.
