I am using tkinter to display some labels based on voltages I am reading. However, it stops executing after one read. I have found that it is due to root.mainloop(). But I am not able to fix it. I have included my code. The root.mainloop() is located right at the end of the while True.

Tkinter needs mainloop to work (to call all functions behind).
Use root.after(time_ms, function_name_without_() ) (before mainloop)
to run some function - and that function have to run the same after(...) to work in loop.
In Tkinter you don't use while True because while True is to make (main)loop
but Tkinter has own mainloop.
And don't use sleep() - use after()
Put all code from while True (except mainloop) in some function and call it using after().
Use second after() in place of sleep().
import Tkinter as tk
master = tk.Tk()
def my_mainloop():
print "Hello World!"
master.after(1000, my_mainloop)
master.after(1000, my_mainloop)
master.mainloop()
