In this video I’ll show you how to use timers with TKinter. We’ll also build a cool digital clock.
There are many times when you need to run things on a timer with Tkinter. Wait x seconds before running this function, or opening that window, etc. How do you do it?
Most tkinter widgets have a built in function called .after() that acts as a timer. You can pass in an argument in miliseconds and then another argument telling the function what to do after the timer expires.
