Python Tkinter Refresh text in Text widget

Question

I am new to tkinter. I need to show in a text box some informations about the ongoing process. The code below prints the two messages at exit. How can I refresh the box whenever I need?

Self.txtbox.insert("end", "wait...")

do_something_long() Self.txtbox.insert("end", "done\n")

Apologizes for the bad presentation of the code. I am on my IPad. I did my best but I could not manage to get it right. Thanks. — quickbug

Refresh means update. In the sample code, I want to print the "wait..." message BEFORE the tricky calculation starts. By default, the text box is updated at the exit of the function. — quickbug

Insert this line right after changing the content of the text box will force it to refresh immediately.
