Displaying run-time output in pyqt

I have python code for simple displaying the output in the mainwindow after clicking the pushbutton. Here is my code:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
import time

try:
  _fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8
except AttributeError:
  _fromUtf8 = lambda s: s

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
  def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
    MainWindow.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("MainWindow"))
    MainWindow.resize(176, 156)
    self.centralWidget = QtGui.QWidget(MainWindow)
    self.centralWidget.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("centralWidget"))
    self.gridLayout = QtGui.QGridLayout(self.centralWidget)
    self.gridLayout.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("gridLayout"))
    self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(self.centralWidget)
    self.pushButton.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton"))
    self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton, 0, 0, 1, 1)
    self.label = QtGui.QLabel(self.centralWidget)
    self.label.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("label"))
    self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.label, 1, 0, 1, 1)
    MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralWidget)
    self.menuBar = QtGui.QMenuBar(MainWindow)
    self.menuBar.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 176, 25))
    self.menuBar.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("menuBar"))
    MainWindow.setMenuBar(self.menuBar)
    self.mainToolBar = QtGui.QToolBar(MainWindow)
    self.mainToolBar.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("mainToolBar"))
    MainWindow.addToolBar(QtCore.Qt.TopToolBarArea, self.mainToolBar)
    self.statusBar = QtGui.QStatusBar(MainWindow)
    self.statusBar.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("statusBar"))
    MainWindow.setStatusBar(self.statusBar)

    self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
    QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)
    self.pushButton.clicked.connect( self.Out)

  def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
    MainWindow.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
    self.pushButton.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("MainWindow", "Start", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
    self.label.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("MainWindow", "0.0", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

  def Out(self):
    for i in range(10):
        time.sleep(0.5)
        out = str(i)
        self.label.setText(out)
        if i == 10:
            break
if __name__ == "__main__":
  import sys
  app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
  MainWindow = QtGui.QMainWindow()
  ui = Ui_MainWindow()
  ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
  MainWindow.show()
  sys.exit(app.exec_())

But i want continuous output in label and it is giving after the executing of program. Please suggest correction in code or any trick. Sorry for weak English.

For your example code, you can use processEvents to keep the gui updated:

def Out(self):
    for i in range(10):
        time.sleep(0.5)
        out = str(i)
        self.label.setText(out)
        QtGui.qApp.processEvents()
        if i == 10:
            break
