Simplist way to display Arduino serial data in label

Question

I have searched high and low. What is the smallest amount of code to show text of a temprature reading from an arduino in a window that updates every second?

Are you asking us to do all the work for you? Stackoverflow isn’t a free code-writing service. There are many arduino+tkinter questions on this site. Have you done any research? — Bryan Oakley, Nov 24 '17 at 21:27
if you put all code in module then program may need only one line `import module`;) — furas, Nov 25 '17 at 08:58
Oh yes the work has been done and the research followed for 3 weeks now. The issue I keep comeng up against is the half knowledge I have with Python. Below is where I am at. I would put the 12 different attempsts I have made but it migh be a TLDR situation. — Matthew Ian Clarke, Nov 25 '17 at 16:28
What i am trying todo is add a temp reading in the centre but am not winning. — Matthew Ian Clarke, Nov 25 '17 at 16:32
