Are Tkinter StringVar threads safe (IntVar, FloatVar, etc.), for example. can a background thread read or write these objects? Or should I use Queue to transfer information between my background thread and my main Tkinter GUI thread, and my main Tkinter thread queues and updates the StringVar app accordingly?
I know that the background threads of my application should not read or write the Tkinter widget directly, but I don’t understand whether StringVar (or their ilk) are considered widgets or if they are objects removed from widgets that are thread safe for background threads for reading and / or writing.
