    Ok, this one I did try before coming here...  :)

    I am trying to report the status of what is going on to the status
bar of the main window of my wxPython app.  I know I'm on the right
track with SetStatusText() but it doesn't always alter the text.  What
the program is doing is taking a filename and passing it through two
different external programs.  One of them is taking a little bit of time
to process the file (sa-learn) so the user needs to know what is going
on.  Right now I have the call to update the status bar preceding the
external call like so:

            self.MainStatus.SetStatusText('Reporting message as spam.',0)
            code = os.system("%s '%s'" % (vars.razor_spam, filepath))

    The status bar is not being updated.  I know it works because other
calls I have to the same method work fine.  Is there some call I need to
make to refresh the window or at least the status bar?
