Not sure if it's a best practice, but you could do a separate client
handler and server handler to get a Please Wait effect:

d = DIV("Click Me",_id="clickme")
event.listen("click", d, "jQuery('#clickme').html('Please Wait...');")
event.listen("click",d, handle_it, d)

def handle_it():
    return "Done!"
