Tk provides the command "tk busy" [1] which does what you want, but as 
far as I can see tkinter still doesn't ship it wrapped [2]. You can 
steal ideas from the links below. Also note this text in the manual page:
"""
PORTABILITY
Note that the tk busy command does not currently have any effect on OSX 
when Tk is built using Aqua support.
