I changes the import to theading instead of thread and the start line to
	threading.Thread(target=example)
On 3.7 with tcl/tk 8.6 with thread support, I see the gui when mainloop is called in the thread, and then the >>> prompt appears.  On 2.7 with tk 8.5 without thread support, I see no hang but only >>>, no box, after the same time delay.  

With thread support, thread calls work.  Without, success varies, and so do failure modes.  See #33479 for proposed doc on tkinter and thread safety.
