A. A lot of people through the years have used update().
If you have something already working as you want ...
well, there's *considerable* value in that.
B. The idiomatic way to do such things in Tkinter is with
after() <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/1526 >.
C. Many programmers also use Python threads to achieve
the effect you describe. I don't have an example at
hand just now.
