It should be very similar to what you are already doing in wx.
But, you would need to layout your toplevel (the one that is created
when you call Tkinter.Tk()) as this:
There would be a ttk.Frame that would hold all the other widgets,
which should be all ttk widgets according to this sample. Then you
would call safe_yield(frame, True) in the same situations you would in
wx. Now it remains to check if there is the same need for this in tk
as there is in wx.
Finally, a sample way to layout the widgets:
root = Tkinter.Tk()
frame = ttk.Frame(root)
btn1 = ttk.Button(frame, text="Button 1")
...
... some time later:
safe_yield(frame, True)
...
