Python ForLoop with nested after() functions happening after loop

Question

I am trying to create a function that will repeat a block of code three times. The code has a for loop to alter the background at 500ms intervals. I want this to be repeated

Fernando Matsumoto has answered your question, but here's a slightly more compact way to do it.

import Tkinter as tk

bgcolors = ("blue", "green", "yellow", "purple", "red", "#a1dbcd")

def cycle():
    delta = 500
    delay = delta
    for x in range(3):
        for c in bgcolors:
            window.after(delay, lambda c=c: window.configure(bg=c))
            delay += delta
        print x

window = tk.Tk()
window.pack_propagate(0)

b = tk.Button(window, text='cycle bg', command=cycle)
b.pack()

window.mainloop()
