I have put a variable that gets updated inside a small method but when I go to use it later on in my code in different methods it shows up as undefined. Do I somehow have to make this variable global? If yes, how would I do that? Here's the code:
def getval():
threading.Timer(0.5, getval).start()
time_interval = slide.get()
print(time_interval)
getval()
This method essentially takes the value (integer) from the scale widget (a slider) in python and updates it every half a second. I then later use the time_interval variable to control different timings.
This is the error I am getting:
Exception in Tkinter callback
