[Bf-python] Updating a panel

[CoDEmanX]

so if your timer works (print gets executed), you can tag_redraw() the 
region your panel is in, example for View3D Toolshelf:

def redraw_view3d_tools():
     for area in bpy.context.screen.areas:
         if area.type == 'VIEW_3D':
             for region in area.regions:
                 if region.type == 'TOOLS':
                     region.tag_redraw()

                     # mostly just one toolshelf, so we can stop here
                     return

you can also tag_redraw() the whole area, which will implicitly redraw 
all regions.
