You can even do "myWidget.text = yield somethingDeferred()"

Yes.
Unless you move everything to Python 3 and then you can use the async /
await syntax (with Twisted), which is more-or-less the same as the above
(but you avoid the decorator). It would look like:

    myWidget.text = await somethingDeferred()
