ds18b20, 433mhz, tkinter poss program

[vectraboyv6]

Hi,

i have a remote ds18b20 tempurature sensor in my greenhouse this is connected to the pi via a set of 433mhz tranceivers on to the uart serial conection.

from python i can send out a temp request and receive the temp back ok.

the thing is i would like to display this in a tkinter button, how ever as I understand, tkinter has to contansly go round in a loop to maintain function. this would result in a lot of data following, which would be a problem. if i delay the tramission say to once every 10 miins then the tkinter will in effect stop.
would anyone have a workaround on this or any advice?

many thanks stuart.
