I've spent the day working with the code from How to access id/widget of different class from a kivy file (.kv)? I've paired it down to the simplest code I could because what I want to do is use Kivy's Clock function to change the text for me instead of clicking the button.
As best as I can understand the code that changes the text should go on Line 38 of the program but all the code I tried stopped executing because it could not access the text to change it. The clock function is working in the code provided.
I've left the button press active but it's the Clock code that I want to change the text. I was wondering if someone knows the solution.
Thanks in advance.

# What code goes here that will change the text via Kivy's clock instead of using the button?

Please do the following and refer to my example for details:
class OnlyScreenApp(App):
def build(self):
Clock.schedule_interval(self.Callback_Clock, 3)
return SingleScreen()
def Callback_Clock(self, dt):
self.root.ids.gb._python_access.text = "I Changed It By Clock! dt=" + str(dt)

Clock.schedule_interval(self.Callback_Clock, 3)
return SingleScreen()
def Callback_Clock(self, dt):
self.root.ids.gb._python_access.text = "I Changed It By Clock! dt=" + str(dt)
