Python change current tkinter text

Question

I am making a tkinter window to show me the weather currently. Every 5 minutes, it will get the new weather, and then replace the old text.

To put in the text, I am using a Tkinter Label.

T = Label(root, bg="black", fg="white", height=2, width=30, text="Some Text")

However, I looked on the internet, and I found a delete function, but it does not work with labels.

How would I go about changing the label text?

I want to change the label while the program is still in mainloop.

You can use this way :

T = Label(root, bg="black", fg="white", height=2, width=30, text="Some Text")
T.config(text='New text')

There's just one problem, how do I do that while the mainloop is still running? – Pokestar Fan Sep 01 '17 at 22:30

@PokestarFan You can use the method `after`, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19887729/time-delay-tkinter – PRMoureu Sep 01 '17 at 23:03
