How can I use Tk.after to continuously update a tkinter display asynchronously in Jupyter Notebook?
I found this link that explains something similar Using async/await keywords with Tk.after() method of tkinter, but this won't work on Jupyter, since Jupyter already has a running loop.
The idea is to update the BTC bid/ask price and volume on a tkinter page every 2 seconds
The following code is the code that I have written, which currently rturns the following error: object function can't be used in 'await' expression
from bfxapi import Client
from tkinter import *
# initialize client
bfx = Client(
API_KEY=API_KEY,
API_SECRET=API_SECRET,
logLevel='DEBUG'
)
root = Tk()
async def GUI():
ticker = await bfx.rest.get_public_ticker(symbol) # get ticker info from bitfinex api
# ro 0 --> Title
Label(root, text='Ticker').grid(row=0,column=0)
Label(root, text='Bid').grid(row=0,column=1)
Label(root, text='Ask').grid(row=0,column=2)
Label(root, text='Volume').grid(row=0,column=3)
# row 1 --> Info
Label(root, text='BTCUSD').grid(row=1,column=0) # BTCUSD ticker
Label(root, text=ticker[0]).grid(row=1,column=1) # bid price from bfx
Label(root, text=ticker[2]).grid(row=1,column=2) # ask price from bfx
Label(root, text=ticker[7]).grid(row=1,column=3) # volume from bfx
# loop
root.after(2000, await GUI) # run itself again after 2000 ms
# run first time
await GUI()
#run the tkinter loop
root.mainloop()
