You can run cmds.refresh() right after you set the text label to change the
first time, will auto refresh when complete
I don't use pymel but have done this method before with standard calls
def script_wrapper():
pm.text(label='Starting script')# is this is an edit call or a creation
call?
cmds.refresh()
long_running_script() # could take up to 3 seconds to execute
pm.text(label='Script complete')
