Waiting For A Timer To Terminate Before Continuing Running The Code

The following code updates the text of a button every second after the START button was pressed. The intended functionality is for the code to 'wait' until the timer has stopped be

Solution 1:

The solution I found that works was to replace

whileTrue:
    if not self.timer.isActive():
        break

with

whileself.timer.isActive():
    QtGui.QApplication.processEvents()

I'm not certain that this is the best solution, though.
