Small side point that might save you some work: Instead of disabling
and enabling all the buttons, disable the whole window. I don't know
Tkinter well enough to know if there's an easy way to create a modal
window, but the thing to do is to disable the entire window rather
than just its command buttons - that's the least astonishing[1] user
interface technique.
