I am new to python and especially tkinter, and I have gone through all of the examples on here but I'm still stuck.
I am trying to create something that sends messages back and forth, and currently having trouble updating the reply. I have taken bits out and just tried to manually update the label but no such luck, it may be something to do with it being on a tab? or even because I'm using grid to place my frames. Anyhow, any help would be deeply aprreciated.
