循环继续后继续代码吗？

Question

I recently posted a similar question but after doing the suggested items i had a similar issue, but the code was changed a lot, so i thought it would be best to see clean code!

I am making a Non-malicious Twitch TV bot that runs a few commands in chat. I have been using the bot for 2 months and decided to create a small GUI for basic changes to variables whilst it is running. Both the GUI and the Bot work fine separately but i am having issues making them work together. I am new to threading and python in general so i am truly stuck on how to fix this.

I have used Tkinter to create the GUI and it requires a Loop to make the window remain open. This loop therefore stops the rest of the code continuing on and launching the bot. I need to work out how to keep the loop running but also continuing on to the rest of the Bot and run that behind the GUI.

This is the start of the Bot where it launches the GUI;

app = Geekster_Bot_GUI(None)
app.title('Geekster_Bot')
app.geometry('450x100')
app.mainloop()

It then continues to the bot connecting to the IRC.

How do i continue after the mainloop() ?

Thanks in advanced!

You can use threading or multiprocessing . Simple example:

import Tkinter
import threading

def create_frame():
    MessFrame = Tkinter.Tk()
    MessFrame.geometry('800x400+200+200')
    MessFrame.title('Main Frame')
    Framelabel = Tkinter.Label(MessFrame, text='Text Here', fg= 'red')
    Framelabel.place(x=10,y=10)
    MessFrame.mainloop()


t1 = threading.Thread(target=create_frame)
t1.start()

#continue
print 1234

But...it's generally best to keep the GUI in the main thread.
