Tkinter from Vis. BASIC

[Terrance N. Phillip]

In VB, an easy way I indicate progress is something like
do while <some process is not met>
lblNotify.foreground = randomcolor
lblNotify.refresh <-----------
<sleep>
loop

I want to do the same thing in Python/Tkinter:

# Wait for network to recognize the workstation:
while os.system("slist") != 0:
self.notify["fg"] = randcolor()
# how do I refresh label l3 at this point?
time.sleep(3)

I've tried self.notify.grid() (I'm using the grid geometry manager
throughout), but that didn't work, and there is no redraw() or refresh()
method that I can see.

I know of an update_idletask() method, look it up in the tkinter doc to
see if that's what you need!

Thanks. I did a dir(label_object) and saw update() and
update_idletasks(). updeate() seems to do the trick.
