PyQt Label not changing text

I have this code running on a PyQt window on windows:

    try:
        self.actorUser.findIdfFiles(pathToFolder)
        msg = "Processando arquivos..."
        self.processingLabel.setText(msg)

        self.actorUser.runSimulation(pathToFolder, pathToEpw)

Inside the "runSimulation" code I start a subprocess using the method "call". This blocks my GUI and at the title of the window appears "Python stopping responding", but if I wait a little bit the subprocess finishes normally, and the label is finally changed. But what I want is that the label have is text really changed before the subprocess started. What can I do??

Joe P 's answer is quite right. But this method is change to

QtCore.QCoreApplication.processEvents()

in pyqt5

Qt (and most UI frameworks) don't update the display as soon as values are set, only when they are told to repaint.

What you need to do is add a call

QtGui.QApplication.processEvents()

before your long-running subprocess, to make it process all pending events.
