This article is amazing, however, I still have a problem. I want to use a thread on function that does stuff on big texts and doesn't influence GUI (so that it doesn't lag). This function takes one argument and returns a dictionary. Using your code I get an error: dict not callable, so I get no result from the thread. How can I fix that?
