Integrating a GUI with an asyncore-based server

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Hi there.
Just for the heck of it I'd like to write a simple front-end for an
asyncore-based server I wrote by using Tkinter.
I wrote a simple graphical interface consisting of two buttons: "Start
server" and "Stop server".
The first button should start the asyncore main loop while the second
should obviously stop it.
Actually I can't find a valid solution for doing such a stuff since
this is the first time I'm using a GUI toolkit.
Which is the best approach to use in such case?
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Twisted has Tkinter integration. If you don't want to use Twisted, you
could
run the asyncore loop in a separated thread with respect to the
Tkinter mainloop.
