How can a function run repeatedly in background without affecting the functions of the GUI?
Question:
I am working on a school project where I made a GUI Reminder application using customTkinter module and mysql database with two tables named user and reminder.
user Table will contain data like this
user Table Structure
reminder table will contain data like this
reminder table structure

Now I want to run showreminder repeatedly in the background without affecting the GUI and it must run on Windows 10/11.
I tried to use the schedule module but it did not get executed,
and I tried to put the whole code in while loop. It did work but other function where not usable until the reminder came.
Answers:
Whenever you want to perform two or more operations in parallel use threading module
import threading
def showreminder():
# define your function
def showreminder_threaded():
thread = threading.Thread(target = showreminder())
thread.start()
Instead of calling showreminder() call showreminder_threaded(), then it will run parallelly
After reading all of your suggestion and tinkering around I found that this code made helped what I want to accomplish
def call_showreminders():
current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%S")
if current_time == "00":
showreminder()
window.after(1000, call_showreminders) # call call_showreminders every second
window.after(1000, call_showreminders)
window.mainloop()

Now I want to run showreminder repeatedly in the background without affecting the GUI and it must run on Windows 10/11.
I tried to use the schedule module but it did not get executed,
and I tried to put the whole code in while loop. It did work but other function where not usable until the reminder came.
Whenever you want to perform two or more operations in parallel use threading module
import threading
def showreminder():
# define your function
def showreminder_threaded():
thread = threading.Thread(target = showreminder())
thread.start()
Instead of calling showreminder() call showreminder_threaded(), then it will run parallelly
After reading all of your suggestion and tinkering around I found that this code made helped what I want to accomplish
def call_showreminders():
current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%S")
if current_time == "00":
showreminder()
window.after(1000, call_showreminders) # call call_showreminders every second
window.after(1000, call_showreminders)
window.mainloop()
