Like John said, it would be much easier to help if you could
post a simple example that we could run.

Inserting the time.sleep() will completely block the GUI from
responding during that time.  I doubt that's what you want.

It's usually best to avoid long-running code that will blocak
GUI events inside a GUI program.  Inserting something like
self.Refresh()  or self.canvas.gui_repaint() may help, but won't
do anything while the loop is executing non-GUI code, such as
time.sleep(), or (I'm assuming) your self.el.calc**()  methods.

I'd guess that you want to put your calculation into a different
thread and then generate a GUI event to redraw the data when
each iteration is ready.

Hope that helps,
