I am trying to build a real time project where the status gets updated every second, so some part of code repeats continuously. when i want to change the information which has to be get updated i will just click on new button which gives me the first window where i can update the new information. but by doing so gives me the following error. Please help me with the idea to resolve this. Thank you.

The issue is the module threading and mainly at line threading.Timer(1.0, self.ae).start(), threading with Tkinter is not a good idea especially with Timer of threading.

Timer can be replaced by the in-built method of Tkinter after method.

So, replace

threading.Timer(1.0, self.ae).start()

with

self.treeview.after(1000, self.ae)
