Update QTextEdit in PyQt

I'm writing a PyQt application that takes some input in one widget and then processes some text files.

The moment the user clicks the "process" button, a separate window with a QTextEdit popup appears and gives some registration messages.

On Mac OS X, this window refreshes automatically and you see the progress.

On Windows, window reports (Not Responding) and then, once all processing is done, the log output will be shown. I guess I need to update the window after every log entry, and ive looked around for timer usage. etc, but havnt lucky it works.

Below is the source code. It has two files: GUI.py, which does all the GUI functionality, and MOVtoMXF, which does all the processing.

GUI.py

import os
import sys
import MOVtoMXF
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *


 class Form(QDialog):

     def process(self):
           path = str(self.pathBox.displayText())
           if(path == ''):
                QMessageBox.warning(self, "Empty Path", "You didnt fill something out.")
                return
           xmlFile = str(self.xmlFileBox.displayText())
           if(xmlFile == ''):
                QMessageBox.warning(self, "No XML file", "You didnt fill something.")
                return
           outFileName = str(self.outfileNameBox.displayText())
           if(outFileName == ''):
                QMessageBox.warning(self, "No Output File", "You didnt do something")
                return
           print path + "  " + xmlFile + " " + outFileName
           mov1 = MOVtoMXF.MOVtoMXF(path, xmlFile, outFileName, self.log)
           self.log.show()
           rc = mov1.ScanFile()
           if( rc < 0):
               print "something happened"
           #self.done(0)


      def __init__(self, parent=None):
            super(Form, self).__init__(parent)
            self.log = Log()
            self.pathLabel = QLabel("P2 Path:")
            self.pathBox = QLineEdit("")
            self.pathBrowseB = QPushButton("Browse")
            self.pathLayout = QHBoxLayout()
            self.pathLayout.addStretch()
            self.pathLayout.addWidget(self.pathLabel)
            self.pathLayout.addWidget(self.pathBox)
            self.pathLayout.addWidget(self.pathBrowseB)

            self.xmlLabel = QLabel("FCP XML File:")
            self.xmlFileBox = QLineEdit("")
            self.xmlFileBrowseB = QPushButton("Browse")
            self.xmlLayout = QHBoxLayout()
            self.xmlLayout.addStretch()
            self.xmlLayout.addWidget(self.xmlLabel)
            self.xmlLayout.addWidget(self.xmlFileBox)
            self.xmlLayout.addWidget(self.xmlFileBrowseB)


            self.outFileLabel = QLabel("Save to:")
            self.outfileNameBox = QLineEdit("")
            self.outputFileBrowseB = QPushButton("Browse")
            self.outputLayout = QHBoxLayout()
            self.outputLayout.addStretch()
            self.outputLayout.addWidget(self.outFileLabel)
            self.outputLayout.addWidget(self.outfileNameBox)
            self.outputLayout.addWidget(self.outputFileBrowseB)

            self.exitButton = QPushButton("Exit")
            self.processButton = QPushButton("Process")
            self.buttonLayout = QHBoxLayout()
            #self.buttonLayout.addStretch()
            self.buttonLayout.addWidget(self.exitButton)
            self.buttonLayout.addWidget(self.processButton) 
            self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
            self.layout.addLayout(self.pathLayout)
            self.layout.addLayout(self.xmlLayout)
            self.layout.addLayout(self.outputLayout)
            self.layout.addLayout(self.buttonLayout)
            self.setLayout(self.layout)
            self.pathBox.setFocus()
            self.setWindowTitle("MOVtoMXF")

            self.connect(self.processButton, SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.process)
            self.connect(self.exitButton, SIGNAL("clicked()"), self, SLOT("reject()"))
            self.ConnectButtons()


class Log(QTextEdit):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Log, self).__init__(parent)
        self.timer = QTimer()
        self.connect(self.timer, SIGNAL("timeout()"), self.updateText())
        self.timer.start(2000) 

    def updateText(self):
        print "update Called"

      

        
        
        
      

    

And MOVtoMXF.py

import os
import sys
import time
import string
import FileUtils
import shutil
import re

    class MOVtoMXF:
    #Class to do the MOVtoMXF stuff.

    def __init__(self, path, xmlFile, outputFile, edit):
        self.MXFdict = {}
        self.MOVDict = {}
        self.path = path
        self.xmlFile = xmlFile
        self.outputFile = outputFile
        self.outputDirectory = outputFile.rsplit('/',1)
        self.outputDirectory = self.outputDirectory[0]
        sys.stdout = OutLog( edit, sys.stdout)



class OutLog():

    def __init__(self, edit, out=None, color=None):
        """(edit, out=None, color=None) -> can write stdout, stderr to a
        QTextEdit.
        edit = QTextEdit
        out = alternate stream ( can be the original sys.stdout )
        color = alternate color (i.e. color stderr a different color)
        """
        self.edit = edit
        self.out = None
        self.color = color



    def write(self, m):
        if self.color:
            tc = self.edit.textColor()
            self.edit.setTextColor(self.color)

        #self.edit.moveCursor(QtGui.QTextCursor.End)
        self.edit.insertPlainText( m )

        if self.color:
            self.edit.setTextColor(tc)

        if self.out:
            self.out.write(m)
        self.edit.show()

      

        
        
        
      

    

If any other code is required (I think that's all it needs), just let me know.

Any help would be great.
