Server app freezes with Tkinter GUI

[shaf3e]

This is my server script when running it without GUI the start method only it works fine but when running the whole script and I press the start button it just freezes and not responding and nothing appears on the text window

from Tkinter import *

import socket
import sys

class Application(Frame):

    def __init__(self, master):

        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.grid()
        self.create_widgets()

    def create_widgets(self):

        self.text = Text(self, width = 35, height = 5, wrap = WORD)
        self.text.grid(row = 0, column = 0, columnspan = 2, sticky = W)
        
        self.submit_button = Button(self, text='start', command = self.start)
        self.submit_button.grid(row = 2, column = 0, sticky = W)

    def start(self):

        self.s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.text.insert(0.0, 'Server started!\n' )
        self.s.bind(('',1090))
        self.s.listen(10)
        sc, address = self.s.accept()
        self.text.insert(0.0, 'Got conn from', address )
        while True:

            '''msg = sc.recv(1024)
            print address, ' >> ', msg
            msg = raw_input('SERVER >> ')
            sc.send(msg)'''
            i=1
            f = open('file_'+ str(i)+".txt",'wb') #open in binary
            i=i+1
            while (True):       
                l = sc.recv(1024)
                while (l):
                    print l 
                    f.write(l) 
                    f.flush()
                    l = sc.recv(1024)
            f.close()

            sc.close()
        
        #s.close()


root = Tk()
root.title("Server")
root.geometry("500x250")
app = Application(root)

root.mainloop()

Add a print statement at the beginning of start() and another after the socket statement to see if that is the hang-up, as the Tkinter code appears to work ok. Note that the inner "while True" statement never exits so the outher while True will only execute once.

It appears that Tkinter requires an update_idletask s() because of all of the other processing going on.

         self.text.insert(0.0, 'Server started!\n' )
         self.text.update_idletasks()

         self.text.insert(0.0, 'Got conn from', address )
         self.text.update_idletasks()

The hang-up now appears to be this line

         sc, address = self.s.accept()
