Tkinter多进程运行报NameError: name 'logarea' is not defined怎么解决

根因说明 #

• Windows系统下multiprocessing默认使用spawn模式启动子进程，子进程会重新导入当前脚本，不会执行if __name__ == '__main__'下的初始化代码，因此子进程中不存在logarea全局变量，触发NameError。
• Tkinter为单线程UI框架，禁止在非主线程/非主进程中直接操作UI组件，即使解决变量问题也会导致UI崩溃。

修正思路 #

使用multiprocessing.Queue实现进程间通信，子进程仅负责执行自动化任务、生产日志内容并写入队列，主进程启动定时任务轮询队列获取日志，更新到UI文本框中。

完整可运行代码 #
