Hi Olivier,
you probably want a dialog window that grabs all events:
top = Toplevel()
top.transient(rootwindow)
top.grab_set()
Label(top, text="Computing, please wait...").pack()
The call to transient() makes the dialog always stay on top of the
application's root window,
grab_set() prevents any events from being delivered to other windows in your
app.
I hope this helps
Michael
