Need a Refresh/Update alternative for GTK to force repaint of window

wxPython Users

Right now I have this:

def OnKeyDown(self, event):
     self.status.SetLabel('Loading...')
     self.Refresh(1)
     self.Update()
     ret = os.system('...')

Now in the above, on Windows It says 'Loading' and
than the app I exec via system() comes up and takes
over the screen. As it should. On Linux I do not see
'Loading' until after the app is done executing. What
can I do to get the same behavior I get on Windows? I
am using wxPython 2.6.1.0

Try a wx.Yield() or a wx.SafeYield() instead of Refresh/Update.

Thank you. That worked.
