"When a tkinter program is running, Tk needs to process different kinds of events. ... Tk and most other GUI toolkits do that by simply checking for any new events over and over again, many times every second."

They actually wait for the next event. It's simpler than what I'm explaining.

<Akuli> but yeah, it's a loop, basically like this
<Akuli> while True:
<Akuli>     event = wait_for_event()
<Akuli>     do_something(event)
