Making a discordbot gui

I'm trying to make a gui(using Tkinter) for my discord bot but the problem is when I click button 'Start bot' the bot actually starts but the whole program crashes. What should I do to fix it? 

from tkinter import *
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.')

window = Tk()

window.title("Bot")

window.geometry('350x200')


def clicked():
    @client.event
    async def on_ready():
        print("ready")
    client.run('')


btn = Button(window,text='Start bot', command=clicked)


btn.grid(column=1,row=1)

window.mainloop()

you are getting the same problem i did!

After having a nap (i haven't slept in a week) i figured out that you need to close the window window.destroy() and reopen it with all buttons

window = Tk()
btn.pack()

You should have a look at Threads as it will allow you to run both Discord and the Tkinter window independently. This is needed as client.run() is blocking, so when that function is run it will not execute any further down your code, and therefore won't run the Tkinter main-loop to allow the GUI to update.
