Tkinter runtime error maximum recursion when open a window

I actually have a big problem. I already have a tkinter window and I want to open an other.

import Tkinter
from Tkinter import *
import threading, time
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
from record_pd import *

class Gui_Record(Tkinter.Tk):

    def __init__(self, tkroot):
        self.root = Tk()
        self.root.title("Enregistreur")
        #self.root.geometry()                                                                                                                                                                                                                
        self.root.geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (500, 70, 400, 300))
        self.root.c = Canvas(tkroot, bg='black')
        self.root.c.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
        self.initialize()
        self.recorder = RecordPd(tkroot)
        self.recorder.init_recorder()

    def initialize(self):
        #self.root.grid()                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

        self.root.resizable(False, False)

        self.Imgtmp = PhotoImage(file="img/record.png")
        self.imgclear = PhotoImage(file="img/clear.png")

        self.root.title = Tkinter.Label(self.root, text="Enregistreur Orgue Sensoriel", bg="black", fg="white", font=("Helvetica", 16))

        self.root.title.pack()

        self.root.button = Tkinter.Button(self, command=self.OnButtonClick, bg="black", bd=0)

        self.root.button.config(highlightthickness=0)
        self.root.button.config(activebackground="black")

        self.root.button.config(image=self.Imgtmp)
        self.root.button.pack()

        self.root.bind("<Destroy>", self._onDestroy)
        self.resume = True
        self.activate = False


    def setTkroot(self, tkroot):
        self.tkroot = tkroot

    def _onDestroy(self, e):
        self.resume = False
        self.recorder.stop_recording()


    def OnButtonClick(self):
       if (self.activate == False):
            self.resume = True
            self.recorder.open_wav()
            self.recorder.start_recording()
            thread = threading.Thread(target=self.threadClignoter)
            thread.start()
            self.activate = True
            print("In recording..")
       else:
            self.stopThread()
            self.recorder.stop_recording()
            self.activate = False

    def threadClignoter(self):
      isVisible = True

      while self.resume:
            if isVisible:
                clr = self.imgclear
            else:
                clr = self.Imgtmp

            self.root.button.config(image=clr)
            isVisible = not isVisible
            time.sleep(0.5)

    def stopThread(self):
        print("Record done.")
        self.resume = False
        self.root.button.config(image=self.Imgtmp)

When I call my object I do:

rec = Gui_Record(self.tkroot)
rec.mainloop()

When I launch a single window it's okay. But when i add my new window to my parent window it happened that:

traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1489, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "/home/naqued/Documents/assembla/backup/naqued-s-space/stido/gui_stido.py", line 139, in launch_recorder
    app = Gui_Record(self.tkroot)
  File "/home/naqued/Documents/assembla/backup/naqued-s-space/stido/record_gui.py", line 18, in __init__
    self.initialize()
  File "/home/naqued/Documents/assembla/backup/naqued-s-space/stido/record_gui.py", line 35, in initialize

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2022, in _setup
    if not master:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1848, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self.tk, attr

  return getattr(self.tk, attr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1848, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self.tk, attr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1848, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self.tk, attr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1848, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self.tk, attr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1848, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self.tk, attr)
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

I don't do recursion on my code. I don't know what happened and didn't find anything in the web.

You are creating a class that inherits from Tk, but it also creates a new instance of Tk, and even though you don't show it you're also creating another root at some point (the object being passed in as tkroot) I'm not sure if that's the only problem, but it's definitely a problem.

Since this is a secondary window, you shouldn't be inheriting from Tkinter.Tk. Instead, inherit from Tkinter.Toplevel

You also have the problem that even though this creates a new window as a child of tkroot, some of the internal widgets are being created as children of tkroot so they won't appear in this window.

You also need to fix your imports -- you shouldn't be doing a global import from Tk and also importing Tk as a module.

You're likely going to have other problems. Tkinter doesn't work well with threads. I've heard that it sometimes works on linux, but in general you should never call any GUI function from any thread other than the one in which the widget was created.
