I am having a little trouble ending my program when I click on my End Program button. The current code that I have keeps making the program freeze when I try to exiting via the button.
Also, I am having some issues with my Auto Button not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The end area is the def endProgram (line 190)

sys.exit() is never a good idea. In this case Tkinter's quit() is the preferred way to exit. The program runs on my Slackware system with this modification to endProgram()

def endProgram (self):
      if self.state == 0:
         self.master.quit()
      else:
         print ("state is not zero -->", self.state)

Thanks a lot man. That fixed it up. It still freezes when I try to run it in IDLE, but when I run it from terminal (mac) it works fine. Must just be some problem with IDLE.
Once again, thanks.

You can't run Tkinter apps from Idle because Idle is written in Tkinter and 2 instances of the Tkinter class confuses it. You can also clean up a lot of the redundant code.
